APC BIBLE COLLEGE
Study Programs at APC Bible College
Something for everyone, something just for you
Who you are in Christ is who you really are. When you live out of your identity in Christ, you reign in life and live as an overcomer, as more than a conqueror.
Study Programs
Courses offered at APC Bible College have been specially designed to equip you to maximize your impact for God’s Kingdom.
Each academic year consists of two semesters, Fall semester (August to November) and Spring semester (January-April).
You can enroll as a student in any one of our three programs: 1-year Certificate (C.Th.), 2-year Diploma (Dip.Th.) or 3-year Bachelors degree (B.Th.) in Theology and Christian Ministry. Alternatively, you can take one or more courses of your choice, out of the 24 courses offered each semester. You can study with us ON-CAMPUS, ON-LINE or via our E-LEARNING portal. All lectures are in English.
ON-CAMPUS students working towards a certificate, have to progress semester by semester. Once you complete all courses (both semesters) for First Year, you can progress to Second Year. Once you complete all courses for First Year and Second Year, you can progress to Third Year. ONLINE and E-LEARNING students can do the courses in any order at their convenience.
ON-CAMPUS CLASSES are held Monday to Friday, of 50 minutes duration each, 9am to 12Noon (Indian Time, GMT+5:30). These classes are live via Google Classroom for ONLINE students. We use Google Classroom and Google Meet for ONLINE CLASSES. Use thetimezoneconverter.com to determine time in your city.

Will I be granted admission to a Master's program in a Seminary after I graduate with a three-year B.Th. from APC Bible College?
This is entirely the decision of the Institution (Seminary/College/University) that you plan to apply to for a Master's degree. We recommend that you first check with the Institution directly, referencing our APC Bible College website, to confirm that they will accept your application for a Master's (or advanced) degree, if you were to graduate with a 3-year B.Th. degree from APC Bible College. Some Institutions may require a 4-year Bachelor's degree, and hence may require you to complete additional courses with them before admitting you into a Master's degree program.
Does APC offer an advanced Master's degree program beyond the 3-year B.Th. degree?
Currently APC Bible College does not offer a Master's degree program. APC Bible College may consider offering relevant "Professional Masters degree" programs for Christian ministry in the future.
