Faculty

Courses are taught by men and women who not only hold advanced degrees, but also have practical experience in their fields. They also hold a high view of the inspiration, authority, and inerrancy of Scripture and incorporate a biblical worldview into every class.

You’ll have direct engagement with your professors through the course dashboard, video presentations, online discussion boards, email communication, and timely feedback on assignments.

Our online classrooms are kept at about 15-20 students, which is half the size of most online programs. That means you will have the opportunity to build a close mentor relationship that supports you through and beyond your degree program.
