The program consists of 121 credit hours. This is a specialized program where 75 percent of coursework is focused on biblical studies and ministry and only 25 percent on general education. This gives you a much more concentrated ministry education than most Bachelor of Arts degrees.
Each class session lasts for eight weeks, and each class counts as three credit hours. You can take as many classes as you want at a time and go at your own pace. If you were to take three classes each eight-week session, you could easily complete a degree in 2.5 years. A degree could be completed in four years by taking one to two classes per session. One of the best parts about online learning is the ability to go at a pace that meets your needs and fits within your schedule.
Each class is made up of eight modules, taking one module per week. Each module has a lesson, a discussion board, and one to three assignments/activities. Usually this takes the student around five to six hours per week to complete. Of course, some go faster and some slower as God has designed each student uniquely. Our students report that balancing busy work and family obligations with online coursework is extremely doable.
Traditional classes meet on a regular basis for face-to-face instruction and are organized by semester. Online classes offer the student much more flexibility than a traditional enrollment does. The online program offers classes in eight-week increments. You can study anytime, any place at a pace that meets your needs and fits within your schedule. Online classes are more affordable than traditional classes, but at Davis you get the same high-quality education that we’ve provided for more than 100 years. As an online student, you’ll have personal access to professors and enjoy small class sizes.
