As a Christian university, MBU’s approach varies significantly from that of an online Bible college. The MBU program develops leaders that emphasize applicability to life, orientation toward the church, and fidelity to the biblical revelation.

Program Details

This program consists of a 39 semester hour major containing 13 courses. A total of 120 semester hours are required to graduate with a bachelor of ministry degree. With MBU’s generous transfer policy, up to 96 existing credits can be applied toward your degree.

What You’ll Learn

We strive to provide a faith-based education that will prepare you for any mission God calls upon you. Your major will include the following online courses:

•         Introduction to Church Planting
•         Basics of Biblical Counseling
•         Foundations of Christian Theology

Other courses will cover everything from sin and redemption to church administration. When you complete your degree, you will be equally prepared to address deep spiritual issues and manage daily efforts to advance the Kingdom of God.
