2018 Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology Catalog 3 A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to Global University!

All of us here at Global are pleased to learn of your interest in our school. We are delighted that you are seeking to prepare yourself for service in God’s harvest fi eld. Our catalog provides information concerning who we are, our mission, history, and policies and procedures, as well as our various plans of study. We trust you will identify a program of study to help you prepare for God’s call on your life.

A unique aspect of our program is the emphasis on applied learning and ministry through our service learning requirement (SLR). This requirement allows learners to move more rapidly from theory to practical application of what they are learning. In other words, learners benefi t from the integration of academic rigor with practical application throughout their studies.

Global University is composed of four schools providing a seamless approach to study, ranging in academic level from certifi cates (initial evangelism and discipleship courses) through graduate degrees. The four schools are School for Evangelism and Discipleship, Berean School of the Bible (off ering adult continuing education courses to equip people for church leadership), Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology (off ering certifi cates, diplomas, associate of arts, and bachelor of arts degrees), and Graduate School of Theology (off ering master of arts, master of divinity, and doctor of ministry degrees). Catalogs for each school are available on our website at www.globaluniversity.edu.

Global University’s learners benefi t not only from increased knowledge through studying course content but also from spiritual growth and increased discipline. Our instructional design helps them gain skills for a lifetime of learning, service, and ministry. Students and alumni fi ll positions of ministry as teachers, pastors, and missionaries. Others serve as local, district, and national church leaders. They actively work in both open and sensitive locations, fulfi lling God’s call on their lives to impact eternity where they are and wherever God leads them.

Should you enroll and study with Global University, you will not be studying alone. Instead, you will join students studying in literally every time zone of the world. We operate through a worldwide network of more than 200 offi ces serving 500,000 students. We are committed to equipping people for service in churches, schools, and other ministries. As you study, rest assured our extensive university stands ready to assist you in any way we can.

God bless!

4 2018 Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology Catalog A LETTER FROM THE PROVOST

Wherever you are in the world, sincere greetings!

It is my pleasure to serve as the provost of Global University. Dealing with academic issues around the world requires an understanding and perceptiveness of regional and national diff erences. Those diff erences are not limited to education; they appear in every aspect of life and work. In traveling the world and meeting our Global students and alumni, I am impressed with their commitment to excellence in ministry in all cultural situations. As I observe these people I can usually see the intersection of God’s call, their commitment, and a Global University education. The results are astounding: people are saved, churches are started, parachurch ministries are established, and bodies are healed. The Lord operates through thousands of men and women who have come through Global University’s programs.

Global University allows you to start wherever you are in your own educational journey and pursue a broad range of learning goals. Do you want basic instruction as a new follower of Christ? Then the School for Evangelism and Discipleship’s Christian Life and Christian Service series of courses would benefi t you. Do you want to study for a ministerial career, a lay leadership role in your church, or your own spiritual enrichment? The Berean School of the Bible’s institute- level programs will serve you well. Do you want an accredited undergraduate certifi cate, diploma, associate of arts degree, or bachelor of arts degree? Check out the programs off ered by the Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology. Are you prepared for postbaccalaureate studies? The Graduate School of Theology off ers master of arts degrees, a master of divinity degree, and a doctor of ministry degree. Global is one university with four schools, so you will have a wide-ranging menu of options from which to choose. And whichever program you select, you can be sure it will integrate faith and learning from a Pentecostal, evangelical perspective.

Our name—Global University—accurately describes us as a worldwide distance-learning school. Our regional accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission assures you of a quality education. As you enter studies with Global University, you join a student body in every time zone and nearly every country of the world. You can study where and when you want to at extremely aff ordable costs.

2018 Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology Catalog 33 THREE-YEAR BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE PROGRAMS

(For students in a qualifying international education system) The typical North American high school curriculum prepares college-bound students for a four-year bachelor’s degree program. However, many international school systems prepare qualified high-school students for the three-year bachelor’s degree program. For this reason, Global University offers three 3-year bachelor of arts programs through national offices: Bible and Theology, Christian Education, and Intercultural Studies. The student should contact his or her national office to find out if the three-year program is offered in his or her country. To be accepted into one of these three-year bachelor’s programs, the student must (a) complete the application process, (b) have graduated from a qualifying international educational system that endorses the three-year bachelor’s degree program, and (c) have “A”-level certificates or the equivalent. The curricula for the 96-credit, three-year bachelor of arts degrees are given below. A minimum of 32 credits earned through Global University courses is required, 15 of which must be in the student’s major.
