Quality of teaching

There are many colleges that offer excellent, high-quality instruction. However, there are none that we know of that have the faculty bench-strength that CUGN has. CUGN’s professors were selected over the years by the Evangelical Seminaries Deans’ Council as representing the best teaching by the best lecturers available at the time. So you will see faculty names such as John Stott, Darrell Bock, Craig Blomberg, Alice Mathews, and many others who are highly recognized by both students and peers in their fields.

Debt avoidance

Cost may not be the most important factor in considering a college education, but it certainly must be practically addressed. CUGN charges $80 per credit hour for the Core 1 self-study courses and $200 per credit hour for the Core 2 and Core 3 courses. These costs are very competitive in the academic marketplace.  In fact, in most cases they are as much as 50 percent less than costs for similar courses in traditional universities.

Education debt is a great burden for those who are called into ministry where the pay scale may not be equivalent to that for similar roles in the secular arena. CUGN’s low tuition rates, its pay-as-you-go plan, its subscription program, and its offering of partial scholarships help combine to ensure that students can graduate with minimal indebtedness.

Lifestyle stability

For many students, pursuing a higher education degree is not an option because of family and career obligations. CUGN’s online format ensures that students do not have to uproot families and leave jobs. Instead, they have the advantage of studying from home at times that are convenient to both family and work schedules. That factor alone is a significant cost savings for most students. And the study-from-home model allows them to continue to engage in areas of ministry where they are already being used and, in so doing, to take what they learn in the classroom directly into the ministry arena.

Spiritual focus

It is CUGN’s hope that students experience true life change in the education process. The focus on biblical teaching, personal application, mentor involvement, and meaningful interaction with professors and other students sets the stage for true spiritual formation. Such change is difficult to document, but students who have experienced it know that the transformation comes only after wrestling with the in-depth teaching, constant focus on the Bible, and learning dependence on God through the disciplines of higher education in the middle of life circumstances.

Preparedness for service

For students with a desire to serve God or to be actively engaged in ministry, CUGN provides foundational teaching, personal growth opportunities, and overall preparedness for service. Specific aspects of CUGN education that build into that preparedness include self-selected research projects in the diploma level courses and a master’s thesis project that includes development of a ministry tool that is tested in a church or small-group setting.

A final word: In summary, there are many choices for students these days, both on campus and online. CUGN is a unique option, offering many advantages for students interested in serious scholarship with an emphasis on personal spiritual development and practical ministry application.

Christian University GlobalNet’s 36-credit Diploma in Biblical Studies is designed for those who want to develop a solid foundation of biblical knowledge for their own learning and/or to allow them to be more effective in their teaching or preaching of God’s Word. The program begins with Core 1 self-study courses and then moves to the Core 2 semester intensive model of online learning. In Core 2, students join an interactive online student group and, with an online instructor guiding the learning and the discussion, they go deeper into the study of the Old and New Testaments and delve into theology, church history, and spiritual formation.
