ministries. (Please see Alumni List for a more current listing.) We are
very proud of each of them for what they have accomplished in their studies
at the Schools of Preaching and the Bible Institutes and we are very thankful
that we have our association with them through the Validation Degree Programs
of the Theological University of America.

Through the Validation Degree Program of the Theological University of America,
we are able to award the Bachelor's Degree  and, often,  the  Master's Degree
to any  graduate of a brotherhood School of Preaching or Bible Institute.  With
the combination of ministerial experience and the School of Preaching or
Bible Institute  and other, often only academic educational experiences, and
the graduate's resume, we often are able to award the Doctorate degree through
the Validation Degree program

You qualify now for the Bachelor's degree if you have graduated from
a brotherhood School of Preaching or Bible Institute with 120 credits.
If you have completed a post graduate course at the School of Preaching
or Bible Institute, you qualify for the Master's degree.  You may qualify for both
the Master's degree and Doctor of Ministry degree based on your graduation
from the School of Preaching or Bible Institute, your ministerial experience,
and your resume.

The tuition and diploma fee for each Validation degree is $625.00.
You may remit the tuition and fee in full at the time of your enrollment
or you  may remit the tuition in installments at a rate agreed upon by you
and the Theological University of America.

Your degree will be conferred only when the tuition and fee are remitted
in full.

Because we are so familiar with the outstanding education you receive
in the brotherhood Schools of Preaching and Bible Institutes, evaluation
of your transcript and resume requires only 10 days.

You as a student and graduate of a brotherhood School of Preaching or
Bible Institute are not required to send the Evaluation Fee for your
Evaluation.

The Theological University of America is an outstanding distant
learning university providing superior education world wide. Our entire
faculty holds the earned accredited doctorate degrees and master's
degrees from America's and our brotherhood's finest  universities. We
will be most pleased to have you with us in the Theological University
of America and to share the wonderful opportunity of our Validation
Degree Program. We believe your degrees from the Theological University
of America are fitting companions to your great education at the Schools
of Preaching and Bible Institutes and will open many opportunities to
you in your ministry. We are most pleased to answer any question.
