The
program of study offered at Philippine College of Ministry
seeks to implement the purpose of the college and prepare
workers for the Church. Classes provide students with an acquaintance
with the disciplines classified as:
- Biblical
and Theological
- Humanities
and Practical Ministries
- Social
and Physical Sciences
- Comparative
Religions
All
of these disciplines are essential to the academic preparation
of Christian leaders.
Degree
Programs
Philippine
College of Ministry offers the following programs of study:
- The
Associate of Theology—a two-year degree program
that prepares the student for an associate ministry or for
ministry in the rural setting. (First two years of any degree
concentration.)
- The
Bachelor of Theology—a
four-year degree program that prepares the student for the
ministry on a professional level. The Bachelor of Theology
with language requires two years of language, either two
years of Hebrew or two years of Greek or one year each of
Greek and Hebrew.
Many
church members who are studying at the other colleges and
universities in Baguio enjoy taking courses part-time at Philippine
College of Ministry to enhance their ability to serve in their
own congregations.
Philippine
College of Ministry believes that its allegiance to the doctrinal
and ethical standards of the Bible would be compromised by
admitting students whose sexual orientation is directed to
members of their own gender. The College therefore reserves
the right to refuse admission to or suspend anyone embracing
the homosexual lifestyle. Application for admission from a
potential student with such an orientation may be considered
following an interview with the Dean of Students and a stated
willingness to refrain from such a lifestyle.
Plan
Philippine
College of Ministry gives major emphasis to the offering of
courses in Bible, religion, theology, music and preaching
not normally offered by the secular university and which can
be offered by a Christian college in a manner more conformable
to the needs of church workers. The college is in a constant
plan of upgrading curriculum and facilities. The following
rules apply to each of the three baccalaureate degree concentrations
offered at Philippine College of Ministry.
- Passing
grades must be received in all classes required for graduation.
Any class wherein the student received the grade of "F"
may not be used to qualify for graduation.
- Only
classes taken at Philippine College of Ministry, another
Bible College or university level institution of higher
learning may be used for credit toward graduation. Classes
may be challenged or the Academic Dean may give credit on
the basis of life experience only after examination.
- Credit
will be given for classes only after all fees for that semester
have been paid. Even if the professor issues a grade to
the student, grades will not be entered on the official
transcript until all fees are paid.
- Two
years of Greek or two years of Hebrew or one year of Greek
and one year of Hebrew are required for the BTh degree with
language designation. However two years of Biblical language
are required for entrance to most graduate theological programs.
Two
baccalaureate degree concentrations are offered at Philippine
College of Ministry to prepare students for Christian Ministry.
The
Ministry Concentration is offered to students
wishing to concentrate their studies to train for pastoral
ministry in the local church. The Ministry track with language
also prepares the student for graduate studies in a graduate
school of theology.
The
Christian Education Concentration qualifies
the student for ministry in the areas of Christian Education
and Youth Ministries. Music and art are included to round
out the skills for ministry in this area.
