Programs of Study

The academic programs at Brookes Bible College are designed to give each student a comprehensive biblical education in an affordable two or four year program. Our goal is that each student will graduate from Brookes Bible College
​equipped and ready to serve the Lord faithfully and effectively.

Bachelor Degree Program

The Bachelor of Theology degree program (B.Th., 120 credits) equips students to invest their lives in church or mission vocations or to prepare for further education at a seminary or graduate school. The program offers a broad biblical, theological, and practical foundation for such ministries as well as a firm foundation in church history, and the exegetical skill necessary for working with the original languages of Scripture.

Associate Degree Programs

The Associate of Biblical & Ministerial Studies degree program (A.BMS., 64 credits) equips students to minister in the local church. Attention is given to developing Bible study and research skills as well as public speaking. This program would be the degree of choice for someone who wishes to answer God's call as a pastor, associate minister, or Christian education director. Many students select this degree in order to better equip themselves to be more effective lay leaders and teachers within the local church. Other students simply want to enhance their understanding of Scripture and deepen their walk with the Lord. LEARN MORE

The Associate of Biblical Counseling & Practical Theology degree program (A.BCPT., 64 credits) equips students to minister in counseling and discipleship roles of vocational or lay ministry. Attention is especially given to developing wisdom concerning life's challenges through grasping the complexity and practicality of theology from the sufficient Word of God.  This program would be the degree of choice for someone training to be a biblical counselor, pastor of community, discipleship, or counseling, or as a foundation for additional theological training.
