Academic Programs

  The Certificate in Biblical Studies is the foundational level of study at KTBC. This program consists of 15 biblical courses designed to provide students with a solid grounding in the Scriptures, basic theology, and practical ministry skills. It is ideal for those seeking to deepen their understanding of God's Word for personal growth or lay ministry. The program typically takes 1 to 2 years to complete, depending on the student's pace and course load. 

  The Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies is an intermediate program comprising 30 biblical courses. While this is not a degree, it represents a significant academic achievement and provides a well-rounded understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, theology, and practical ministry. This program serves as a bridge between the Certificate and the Bachelor's degree, offering students a comprehensive foundation for continued study or vocational ministry. It usually takes 3 years to complete, though students may finish sooner by taking advantage of distance learning options. 

  The Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies is a four-year degree program consisting of 60 courses covering Old and New Testament studies, theology, practical ministry, and general education. The program builds upon the Certificate and Associate levels, with all courses taken at the full college credit level. Students benefit from a diverse curriculum that includes specialized courses taught by experts in fields such as mental health, women's ministries, and youth and children's ministry. This program prepares graduates for effective service in a wide range of ministry settings, both locally and globally. 

 All courses offered at Kenya Theological Bible College carry the same academic value and level of credit, whether taken by Certificate, Associate, or Bachelor students. The Certificate in Biblical Studies requires 45 credits, which is equivalent to 15 courses and typically takes 1 to 2 years to complete. The Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies requires 90 credits, or 30 courses, and generally takes 3 years to finish.
