These two graduate Bible courses are offered online at various times during the year. View the general study/nondegree courses for the current semester to register for Bible courses. Applicants with Bible course credit from another institution may have the Bible prerequisite satisfied pending review of their application and transcript(s).

In addition, students who work part time may be able to access tuition assistance benefits provided by their employer. Visit the M.B.A. online application to begin or continue your application.
