Degree Completion Program
The Degree Completion Program (DCP) is an incredible opportunity for adults who want to complete their college education and is especially designed to fit the schedule of busy people.
The Degree Completion Program is an innovative way for you to return to college and receive a biblically-based, Christ-centered education. You will also be provided with vital skills in analytical thinking and relationship-building, together with appropriate biblical content acquisition. On-campus classes meet once a week, as you proceed through the courses with the same group of professionally-minded adults who share common commitments and goals. Likewise, online cohorts engage in collaborative learning through electronic means.

Program Emphasis: Adult Friendly
Instructional modules are scheduled in a way that allows you to fit the program into an already busy lifestyle. The on-campus modules meet from 6-10 p.m. one night per week for the 15 -36 months of the program. Students enrolled in the online program can complete their weekly assignments at times convenient to them. In both programs, students get a week off between each module. Only one module is taken at a time and each group of students progresses through the program together.
