During the summer a full semester’s work is offered. Because of our cool summers in the shadow of Horn Peak and other spectacular peaks, we can attract some outstanding visiting professors who combine teaching with a vacation for their families. Each teacher comes for one or two weeks, and teaches a concentrated course in the area of their expertise.
During the falls we have a full semester with resident professors giving particular attention to the Biblical Languages, Exegesis, Practice Teaching, Preaching and Worship, Bible Survey, Homiletics and Hermeneutics.
From January through May, courses in Greek Exegesis, Hebrew Exegesis and Student Teaching or Preaching are required for two years. One year a student takes Greek Exegesis and Student Teaching or Preaching, and another year Hebrew Exegesis and Student Teaching or Preaching. This program is thoroughly explained to students during the fall semesters. By doing this, it is our hope to connect the formal study with practical experience. These courses are given in residence with the provision that students may choose to take them off campus. However, if a student is a veteran and receiving VA educational benefits for education, he must be in residence in order to receive VA benefits for these courses.
