Our Programs
We are glad to offer something to anyone wanting to deepen their personal walk with God or prepare for an effective future in ministry. From simply auditing courses for personal interest to enrolment in programs ranging from 1 to 4 years in length at the certificate, diploma and degree (bachelor, master, or doctorate) levels. With some of the most affordable tuition costs, at FABC we strive to make quality biblical education accessible to all.
Credits
Each credit hour is equivalent to 15 hours of instructor-led activities (lectures, in-class discussions, student presentations, etc.). In addition to instructor led activities, each credit hour includes a variety of assignments such as: required reading, written reports, exams, etc. Course requirements are outlined in the syllabus given to students by the course start date.
As you progress in your studies on to higher level programs, course requirements, such as research, reports and exams, will increase while maintaining the standard 15 hours of instructor led activities per credit hour.
