    Anyone know of print-based graduate biblical studies courses for $500 or less per course?

    I'm looking for individual courses at this time, not degree programs.

    Time is of the essence; I'll greatly appreciate any help.

    There is Global University for about $660 x a 3 credit class however you can get a discount depending on your location or if you are in ministry or the military. They are very rigorous, require to do a decent amount of research and writing however there are no exams excepting for Greek.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I forgot to mention that I need courses that are RA accredited.

    Biola; MA programs (various); distance; about $400 (?) per credit.

    Thanks, but I can't afford $400 per credit.

    MZ - could you please explain how it is not an MA, just a cert, and how 36 credits at approx. $400 each is relatively cheap?
    Thanks.

    nanoose, I wasn't talking about the BIOLA Master of Arts in Apologetics, which is an excellent program (probably the best master's focusing specifically on apologetics in the world) which I considered taking myself. As you've noted that program is 36 credits and a full master's program.

    My comment re "not a degree" and "cheap" was only referring to the Certificate in Apologetics program (which I completed a few years ago via distance from BIOLA) which costs less than $300 (plus a few marking/mailing fees) for the entire cert. The reason I mentioned the cert is that BIOLA's MA in Apologetics isn't available entirely via distance/mail, whereas the cert is.

    Gotcha now. Thanks, MZ.
    The BIOLA MA does require 2 summers of 2 weeks (each) on campus....spread out however one wishes. So, yes, it is not entirely by distance, but I decided it was significantly by distance, such that it was a very doable Masters....as it has proven to be.
    Thanks for clarifying.

    $500 per course -- for two purposes: I need 2 courses, or 6 credits, to renew my teaching certificate, and I'd also like to be able to apply these courses toward a master's degree. But for now, since I'd have to pay for these first two courses out-of-pocket, I need them to be as cheap as possible.

    I would definitely consider online, if I could take one course at a time and in 7- or 8-week terms. I just need to finish the two courses as quickly as possible.

    Thanks for your reply, but these are undergraduate courses, whereas I'm looking for graduate courses.
