Courses and Requirements
Prerequisite: Associate degree
How Long Will This Take a Student?
For a part-time student working:
5-8 hours per week (realistic for a busy adult):
Low end: 18-24 months
High end: 24-30 months
For a motivated full-time student:
20 hours per week:
Could finish in: 12-15 months
Bottom Line: This is a substantial, rigorous Bachelor's degree-level workload. It’s demanding, but entirely achievable.
Note on Course Selection:
Some subjects appear in more than one course provider. This is intentional, as different instructors and perspectives give students a fuller, more balanced education.
Important Note on Biblical Authority:
Some courses in the Bachelor of Ministry program include material that interacts with modern scholarship, including critical approaches to Scripture. As we state on our [About page], WSCT stands firmly on the inspiration and preservation of God’s Word and rejects critical methods that undermine biblical authority.
We also affirm that every word of Scripture means exactly what it says. For example, some modern scholarship teaches that when God warned Adam and Eve that they would “surely die” if they sinned, He meant a long process rather than a real death beginning that very day. This view ignores the plain meaning of God’s words. Adam and Eve knew exactly what God said, and the moment they sinned, they died spiritually. Their fellowship with God was broken. Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,” showing that sin brings spiritual death. James 1:15 explains how sin works: “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Neither physical nor spiritual death existed for humanity or creation until Adam’s fall (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12).
These courses are provided so students can understand what is taught in the wider academic world and learn to evaluate it in light of Scripture. Students should approach these lessons with discernment, remembering that the Bible is our final authority for truth (Psalm 119:160; 2 Timothy 3:16–17).
To successfully earn credit for each course, students are required to:
Submit a 200-word summary for each individual lesson or video, unless otherwise stated.
