Associate Degrees

Our Associate programs are entry level courses of study designed to begin preparing people interested in Christian service. Students are then offered an opportunity to continue their studies in our Bachelors program.

CCBI offers an Associate of Christian Training (A.C.T.) program and an Associate of Basic Bible Studies (A.B.B.S.) program. Every Associate level student with fewer than 16 transfer of ministry credits must complete four semesters of course work which may be interchanged between A.B.B.S. and A.C.T. curriculum by entire semesters. No semester may be divided. However, all Associate level students, regardless of transfer credits, must complete the First Semester curriculum wich includes basic English topics.

Please note that both Associate curricula have outside requirements each semester including reading, writing, research, and practical experience projects in addition to the stated curriculum.
