PROGRAMMES OF STUDY

BACHELOR OF MINISTRY (BMin) (EXTERNAL)

Purpose

The external BMin programme provides an opportunity for worthy DipTh students and graduates of the Bible College of East Africa (or an approved college) to earn an undergraduate degree by studying under the faculty of FEBC without having to leave their home country or disrupt their ministry.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must show evidence of God’s call to full-time Christian service, and must have successfully completed a pre-university education with the English language as the primary medium of instruction. The programme is offered to current full-time DipTh candidates of the College in their senior year of studies (3^rd/4^th year). Enrolment is also open to past BCEA DipTh graduates who are already in full-time Christian service. DipTh graduates of other Bible Colleges are welcome to apply, but their previous training must meet the academic standards of FEBC and BCEA. Graduates of other Bible Colleges if accepted into the programme may be required to fulfil certain prerequisites before matriculating as BMin students. All applications and enquiries should be made to the Academic Dean of BCEA, PO Box 41140, Nairobi, Kenya.

Programme Requirements

Students must complete in residence 8 BMin courses taught by FEBC lecturers. Besides taking the residential courses, students must complete 4 collateral reading modules in the areas of Christian Theology, Biblical Studies, Church History, and Pastoral Theology. A major written project is required in the final year.

Graduation Requirements

Candidates must complete their DipTh and BMin course requirements with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Evidence to the faculty of approved Christian character must also be shown. The successful candidate must be present at the graduation service for the conferral of the degree.
