Follow on Google News | Fully Accredited Apostolic CollegeApostolic School of Theology (AST) has been well-known for its online learning and in June of 2009, AST merged with Hope International University (HIU).
By: Paul Baumeister While there are a number of Apostolic Bible Colleges in the US and Canada, there exists only one that is fully accredited. One of the best ways to determine if a school is fully accredited is to apply for federal financial aid (FAFSA). FAFSA can only be applied by students entering accredited colleges. Another benefit to the college is the fact that the military will pay the whole costs of the program from start to finish for their servicemen and women that qualify for the GI Bill. While Apostolic Bible Colleges are declining in student enrollments, AST has increased every five weeks. Students seem to love the idea of taking our 5-week courses. They are full-time if they are enrolled in one course at a time and take at least 8 courses per year. So, students do not have concentrate on a few courses at a time as in the traditional style of Bible College; they concentrate on only one course and that creates a more flexible and convenient method for pastors, leaders, and working students. Apostolics can download their lectures to their iPods for future and more convenient access. Students love the idea of doing their schoolwork and viewing their lectures at their own leisure, instead at set periods of time. Another aspect of the school is the fact that courses include some live lectures where students participate in live discussions via their webcam and headset. The sessions are recorded and uploaded for future use so as to be more convenient for the pastors. If the student wants to login to class from anywhere, he/she can as long as there is an internet connection. With all of these benefits, it is no wonder why AST is the fastest growing Apostolic Bible College in the Nation.
