Guest Ann B Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hello, I hope this discussion thread may be helpful to others who hold a similar desire to pursue Bible College studies but distance contravenes. I am prayerfully considering studying with an IB Bible College held in America. My home-base is Aus, so flexible online study would be optimal. I've researched a couple of colleges, but would love to hear others input and recommendations for colleges offering distance learning. I do love hearing others' stories, if you have studied and graduated already. But am really looking at affordability and then from there , will help me narrow my options down. So grateful for this online forum! Love seeing many open discussions. From a sister in Christ, Ann B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrotherTony Posted September 16, 2022 Members Share Posted September 16, 2022 What colleges have you researched...just so we won't be wasting your time and ours? Personally, I would recommend Maranatha Baptist University http://www.mbu.edu out of Watertown, WI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann B Posted September 17, 2022 Members Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hi Tony yes the top 5 affordable for distance learning so far: Florida Baptist College BMA Seminary (Texas) Texas Baptist College Independent Baptist Online College (Non accredited) Berean Bible Institute (California) however non-accredited also The list has been narrowed down a lot because of cost even though a lot of them have been very appealing. Perfect, Maranatha Baptist Uni looks good and has high acceptance rate. I've added that to my list now too. Cheers, A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrotherTony Posted September 17, 2022 Members Share Posted September 17, 2022 If you're looking for accredited colleges, most are going to be cost prohibitive, IMHO. But, many will let a person work at a reasonable pace. Years ago I had started my degree through Baptist University of America in Kokomo, IN. Because of several "happenings" in our lives, I had to lay that down for a while. I have had several friends go through there, and their work is college leve work, though many people don't accept this as a "legitimate" college because of their unaccredited status. It might be something to check into as well. I've considered picking my studies back up there in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann B Posted September 18, 2022 Members Share Posted September 18, 2022 Wow yes, It's a really big decision..With the time spent, effort and financial planning. I'd have to really weigh up and expect to pay more at an accredited College. But that's ok. Also I think there is a bit more flexibility for example swapping completed credits to another recognised college if the student wanted to change. Those are some good thoughts I'll take them into account ! Jim_Alaska and BrotherTony 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
