Diploma to Degree Pathway

“One day I’ll finish my bachelor’s degree…”

The diploma you received from PBTS (or, credits you earned through PBC/Davis) provided an invaluable firm foundation in Bible, theology, and ministering to people. Today, Davis College invites you to take the next step; allow us to help you complete your accredited Bachelor’s. How? Through the Diploma to Degree pathway.

The Diploma to Degree pathway allows you to complete the degree you once started.  It is designed for adult Christians to complete an accredited Bachelor’s degree by attending class one night per week or by taking online courses.  You will graduate with a Bachelor’s of Religious Education degree in Christian Ministries.

Why should you consider the Davis College Diploma to Degree pathway?

2.    Convert your life experience and prior learning into college credit.

3.    Attend class only one night per week.

4.    Classes are designed to improve your ministry and business skills.

5.    Excellent instruction is presented in a small seminar-type class setting.

6.    Christian classmates assist one another in the process of integrating faith and learning.
7.    The Bachelor’s degree opens up a number of possibilities.

Diploma to Degree


Pastor and Mrs. Dathan ('82, 07) and Louann ('82) Corbett.

Dathan Corbett, a 1982 graduate of Practical Bible Training School, returned to Davis College to complete his Bachelor's degree.

The Diploma to Degree pathway at Davis College helped me get my bachelor’s degree in a timely, convenient and cost-effective manner.

I began looking at options to complete my degree when I was in between churches and took a job at $10.99/hour. Going back to Davis and getting my degree put me in a position to move up in that company, and it more than doubled my salary. It would have been difficult financially had I not completed my degree.

The College applied my previous three-year diploma credits from PBTS, evaluated life credit from my years in ministry, and created a personalized online course schedule that worked for me. Earning your accredited bachelor’s degree is within reach and the staff will help you every step of the way.”
