Undergraduate Programs

Associate Degrees

Our Associate programs are entry level courses of study designed to begin preparing students interested in Christian service and ministry. Students are then offered an opportunity to continue their studies in our Bachelor programs. CCBI offers the Associate of Theology in Christian Training, and  Bible Studies. Every Associate level student with fewer than 16 transfer of ministry credits must complete four semesters of course work which may be interchanged between the Biblical Studies and the Christian Training  by entire semesters. No semester may be divided. However, all Associate level students, regardless of transfer credits, must complete the First Semester curriculum which includes basic English Grammar, research, research writing and general preparation skills.

 I – A student has satisfactorily completed most, but not all, course requirements due to extenuating circumstances.

W – A student voluntarily withdrew from the course prior and this constitutes an “F” grade.

T – Signifies the transfer of credits from one institution to another.

Course Repetition 

Only courses in which “C”, “D” or “F” is received may be repeated.  When a course is repeated the first grade remains on the record but only the better grade will be counted for graduation or in computing quality points.  A repeated course is designated by a”*” in the column following the grade column.  A non-credit course will be designated by “@”.  This credit will not apply to the degree nor figure in the GPA.
