Accreditation does not guarantee that any courses will be transferrable. In fact, the Secretary of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education reported that not all accredited colleges were recognizing each others' courses. Many colleges over the years have accepted our courses depending on the student's performance and area of study. The only way to guarantee that a course will transfer to another college is by contract. The Apostolic Bible Institute has such a contract with Northwestern College, an accredited school here in Minnesota where you can continue your studies in another area of interest.
Many employers are requiring a bachelor degree for employment. Your area of study or degree accreditation is often not considered. PayScale.com did a study that shows the various types of jobs in each area of study. There are a number of surprises. Many of our Alumni are working in professional fields outside of the ministry in management and leadership. The Apostolic Bible Institute's Bachelor Degree of Theology will open many doors for employment.
There have been religous and secular studies in the area of young people's transition to adulthood and its impact on their spiritual life. Young people who do not go to any college have the highest rate (76% chance) of abandoning their faith. Young People who attend secular college have a 64% chance of walking away from their faith. The Apostolic Bible Institute's record of spiritual development and faithfulness to God's Word offers young people a balanced environment of spiritual, personal, and academic growth.
Those who give their best to their studies, participation, and servanthood avail themselves to more opportunities in the ministry. Students do teach Bible studies, work in the church, and assist those in need.
Bible college will give you an in depth understanding of the Bible from cover to cover. You will be building close friendships with the faculty and your fellow students. This network will provide you with support and opportunities in the future. You will learn from the various parts of the ministry and understand how they harmonize to make the church stronger. You will learn leadership, team work, and organizatonal skills so you can execute the ministry that God gives you.
The courses you took that are applicable to our degree including English, Math, and Science are transferrable. By completing your degree with the Apostolic Bible Institute, more employment opportunities will be open to you.
We do not have a graduate program. The Apostolic Bible Insitute's Bachelor Degree has been recognized by accredited graduate schools on a student-by-student basis.
Each Spring the Apostolic Bible Institute offers High School Juniors and Seniors a chance to live in the dorms, attend classes, and meet our students in a program called "Thirst". You are also invited to arrange your own personal visit to our campus by contacting us.
