PIBC has received authorization from TRACS, our accrediting agency, to begin offering a master of arts in religion (MAR) degree. This is PIBC's first graduate-level seminary degree. You can read more details about the degree at the PIBC web site.We are planning to have about 10 full time students in the program this Fall. Several graduates and other interested students have already contacted me about applications. Most of these students will be Micronesians. For many of them this will be a great financial "faith stretch" because federal programs will not be available for this degree. We are looking for churches, organizations or individuals to sponsor a Micronesian student in our seminary for about $5,000 per year. This will cover their tuition for the fall, winter and summer sessions. (Try to find that kind of a deal for a seminary education in the US - missionary support for our faculty makes it possible for us to offer this to our Micronesian and other needy students). We will encourage our students to also take part time jobs (some will work for PIBC with the undergrad students) so that they are prepared to do bi-vocational ministry. If you are interested to help please click on the email link to the right and we will discuss how you can help.
By the way, we have a need for a teacher with a doctoral degree in systematic theology short or long term.
