PROGRESSIVE LEVELS OF DEGREES

A degree is an academic title conferred by an institution of higher

learning showing that a person has satisfactorily completed a

particular program of study. The certificate is the actual document itself.

Degrees are progressive. One level is built on the preceding one,

each level representing a higher work effort, and the equivalent of

another year of study. The Japan Bible Institute offers all five

levels: Diploma, Associate, Bachelor, Master, and Doctor:

        DIPLOMA— (40 credits) this is the first level, and like a

Christian Worker’s Certificate. Some schools have just a

“Certificate” where we have a Diploma.

        ASSOCIATE— (usually 60-64 credits, but we require 90)

the Associate Bachelor degree represents the equivalency of two

years of academic study. Typically, awarded by a junior or

community college.

        BACHELOR— (120-128 credits) conferred for the equivalency

of four years of full-time study. But you can earn a Bachelor’s degree

in two or three months from some schools. “Bachelor” means that

you have accumulated a “batch” of knowledge. If you receive

a Bachelor’s degree through credit for life work experience from

The Japan Bible Institute Ministries, you are guaranteed admission

into our Master’s degree program, and we also encourage you to go

on to the Doctor’s degree program.

        MASTER— (150 credits) this represents at least one year of

study beyond the Bachelor, but lower than the Doctorate, indicating

that you have “mastered a subject.”

        DOCTOR— (210 credits) this academic title is awarded for

the completion of advanced study and is the highest degree there is.

It is the ultimate in the educational world, and has been a title of

respect for learned persons since Biblical times, Luke 6:46.

It is traditionally held that it takes a doctor to confer a Doctor’s

degree upon someone else.

DEFINITIONS OF DEGREES

All of these degrees are religious in nature and not only overlap, but

are sometimes thought of inter-exchangeable.

BIBLICAL SUBJECTS—the study of major Scriptural themes

and the main topics of the Sacred Scriptures. Courses dealing

with various doctrines of the Word of God; that which is devoted to

the fundamental beliefs of the Holy Bible.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION—general instructions in Christianity, and the study of the doctrines of Christ. Training in the teachings

of Jesus Christ and the development of Christian Character.

DIVINITY—the study of the one and only Deity. Having to do with the supreme, infinite and eternal qualities of the Almighty; pertaining

to the Divine Godhead or Holy Trinity. That which

is inspired by God.

MINISTRY—pertaining to the work of the Lord and service for God. Training in the performance of office of clergy. Rendering help to people and caring for the saints.

THEOLOGY—the study of God and the expounding of Christology; Courses dealing with the relationship between God and the universe and man. The cultivation of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.

Since our courses are rather general, we don’t mind accommodating our students by granting their preference to receive their diploma, associate, bachelor, masters, or doctor’s degree in Biblical subjects, Christian Education, Divinity, Ministry, or Theology, etc. because as stated above, these terms blend and overlapped in most creeds, books, and schools.

EXPLANATION OF DEGREE PROGRAMS

In the secular field there is a lot of difference between a lawyer, a butcher, a banker, and a dentist.

But in the religious field what is the difference between Divinity, Theology, Ministry, Pastoral Counseling, etc.?  Actually, they overlap, for the Bible

is the main textbook for them all. We have.

4 Diplomas

4 Associates

12 Bachelors

14 Masters

15 Doctors

6 Hon. Dr. Degrees

A total of 55 different certificates which is more than most schools

larger than us. But we only have seven different courses at this time.

(More on the way)

So when you take one of our courses, you may choose any degree on

an appropriate level recommended for that course.

Some have asked, “What is the difference between a degree in

Pastoral Counseling and one in Christian Counseling?” Well, one is for

a Pastor and the other is someone who is not a Pastor.

Counseling is meeting together with a person and spending a season

with them in detailed discussion to personally consult, advise, guide,

and admonish them with the Word of God. We need to do a lot of

listening, but not just listen.

A degree in counseling AND COMMUNICATION would include

more teaching by way of pulpit, audiotapes, videotapes, radio,

television, writing, etc.

The Japan Bible Institute Ministries offers the widest variety of

religious degrees of any school its size in the U.S.A. However, we do

not offer any secular “Arts” (which represents a wide scope of

studies including such subjects as education, human relations,

literature, etc.), or PhD degrees. A Ph.D. doesn’t have to do with the

study of philosophy. It is awarded for study in many fields such

as Communications, Management, Education, Human Relations, etc.

and is not necessarily considered a religious degree, (But there can

be exceptions.) so up to the directors of THE JAPAN BIBLE

INSTITUE MINISTRIES.

HONORARY DOCTORIAL DEGREE PROGRAM

If you are a Pastor, Evangelist, or Leader of an active Christian ministry, The Japan Bible Institute Ministries may be able to grant you an Honorary Doctorial Degree on the basis of I Timothy 5:17, if you meet the following qualifications:

Must be at least 10 years old.

Produce evidence that you are a licensed and ordained minister

of the Gospel.

Verify that you have at least 10 years of full-time or

part-time ministerial experience.

Prepare a TYPED one-page summary or resume of your work for the Lord.

Secure the endorsements of two other licensed or ordained ministers or other prominent Church leaders.

Make an $ 315 contribution to the furtherance of The Japan

Bible Institute Ministries.

There is a discount for two Honorary Doctorial Degrees for

a Married Couple.

You may request an application by Postal Mail or E-Mail attachment.

USE OF YOUR TITLE

Only about 5% of ministers in major cities have Doctor Degrees—but it’s rapidly increasing.

If you receive a Doctorate from The Japan Bible Institute Ministries, you have a legitimate right to use the title in your public life either before or

after your name, such as: Dr. Joe Smith, Joe Smith, DTh., or Rev. Dr. Joe Smith. You are honestly and ethically entitled to use your title on your business cards, letterhead, brochures, the phone book, road signs, and “Public Service Announcements” in the newspapers, if you so choose.

It’s only reasonable and proper for others to address and introduce you as “Doctor so and so…” Your degree will often win you instant respect from most dignified people, but will sometimes provoke jealousy from a few folks.  They may mumble, “Ah that degree doesn’t mean anything.” But it does!  It means you have spent hundreds of hours studying hundreds of Bible verses and answering hundreds of questions correctly!

So don’t be too shocked if someone discredits you, The Japan

Bible Institute Ministries, our Accrediting Association, and all Education

in general.  Just remember II Timothy 3:12. After all, respect or

disrespect is just someone’s opinion—whether it’s based on facts or

not. Sometimes when folks judge others, they are really just

judging themselves at the same time.

COMPARE THE COST

A low average cost would be over $1,300 for a Bach. $1,600 for a Mas.

and $1,800 for a Doc.

OUR NOMINAL PRICES

Perhaps you already knew what a degree could cost, and that many schools simply price their degrees above what the average student

can afford. Why should a school charge more than is necessary for

its regular operation and reasonable growth projections?  The cost of

a degree or the amount of time involved does not necessarily increase

the quality of education.  So, why pay an exorbitant fee for the very

same degree that you can get elsewhere for much less money?  

The goal of The Japan Bible Institute Ministries is to provide students

with the finest Biblical education, at the lowest possible cost. Thus,

we have deliberately priced our degrees very low, because we think

we can do more good for more people this way. Our

educational philosophy and methods are not unique, but in the matter

of finances we are unique. The Japan Bible Institute offers the

best investment you’ll ever find. Following are our exceptionally low fees.

Course Materials are free and are delivered in ebook format and you can print them out if you like.
