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.
Ask and you shall receive….. Main web site Seminary Extension Go page 45 for tuition and fees http://www.seminaryextension.org/catalog.pdf Old school paper and online available. I think its like $80 for a three credit class + some small fees DETC accredited
BIOLA does have their distance certificate in apologetics via mail: Distance Certificate Program « Apologetics « Biola University It is not a degree (just a cert) but it is good and relatively cheap. Michael did you mean $500/credit in your OP or are you really looking for RA @ $500/course?
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 (about to finish the BIOLA MA Apologetics).
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. nanner
$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.
