Tracks, Courses and Descriptions

 

WalkRight Bible Institute Diplomas

WalkRight Bible Institute offers two separate one-year tracks that students can complete. Neither track is built upon foundations taught in the other track, but instead, each track runs as a completely separate program. These two tracks are alternated every other year giving students an opportunity to complete both if desired. Upon completion of one track, students will receive the Christian Ministry Diploma. If a student desires, he or she may then stay another year for extended study, and upon completion of the second track, the student will receive the Diploma of Practical Biblical Studies.

Each seminar offered at WalkRight Bible Institute is comprised of anywhere from 18-20 hours of classroom instruction as well as 3-5 hours of small group discussions and projects. The seminar program at WalkRight Bible Institute does not include tests and quizzes but rather homework assignments, required reading, short papers, discussion groups and small projects.

 

We reserve the privilege to change any seminar offered due the schedule of our speakers, scheduled events or unforeseen conflicts.
