National Bible College and Seminary
National Bible College and Seminary (NBC&S) is committed to the development and administration of innovative, useful programs which allow our students to continue striving toward excellence in higher education and ministry.

Education no longer offers a "one size fits all" approach. At NBC&S, we recognize that in addition to educational pursuits, adult learners often have commitments to church, family, secular jobs; etc. Therefore, NBC&S is currently developing high quality online education programs which students may access via the Internet.

While all students are still required to complete daily assignments, and actively participate in courses, through this program, online learners may now complete courses without visiting a traditional "classroom".

To aid you in better understanding the Distance Learning approach, we have provided answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S) below...
