EQUIP - Bible Online

Bible and Ministry Undergraduate
Bible and Ministry

Harding's Equip - Bible Online in Bible and Ministry recognizes that many adult and non-traditional learners would like to advance their knowledge and skills in religious education but need a variety of options to fit complex lives. The CDE provides training and education appropriate for students entering into full-time or volunteer religious vocations. By designing a degree program for online students in addition to our current on-campus community for adult majors in Bible, Harding provides ministry education opportunities to students who are place-bound or need an alternative to a full-time degree on the main campus. Students are also able to connect with their broader learning community through our own chapel service, which is available on campus and online. We would love to provide you with more Equip information or help you through the Enrollment Process.

Harding uses the Canvas learning management system for online courses. Canvas is compatible with Microsoft operating systems as well as with Macintosh computers. A high speed internet connection is recommended. Canvas supports the Firefox browser, thus it is recommended that students use Firefox as their Internet browser. Students will also likely need access to Microsoft Office software such as Microsoft Word to complete assignments. This software is available for download for all university students.

Dual Credit

Getting ready for college is a big deal. There are so many questions and choices. "What major should I have?" "What do I want to be when I graduate from college?" "Where are my friends going?" "What school is the right one for me?" The answers to each of these questions are different for everyone, and each future college student needs to make the right choice for himself or herself.

While high school students ponder their choices for the future, the Center for Distance Education in Bible and Ministry at Harding University would like to help now. Harding provides college Bible classes that are relevant to current needs and concerns of juniors and seniors. Classes offered in this program are listed below:

BMIS 280 World Christian (3 credit hours)

PHIL 253 Ethics (3 credit hours)

Each of these courses teaches information and skills needed by Christians who want to make an eternal difference in the world today.

Students who take these classes become actual Harding students. The credit they earn is transferable credit from a private Christian university, one that is respected for its academic quality and Christian values. Students who come to Harding for a four-year degree may use their Bible credits toward elective hours in Bible. Whether students choose Harding for their degree program or another university, hours earned from Harding will advance students toward degree pursuits at most colleges and universities. In addition, this Harding experience will advance students to be better Christian servants in their future professions.

Why not choose Harding now? Let us help you prepare for your future.
