This one-year program is designed for men and women who desire additional biblical education and essential skills for ministry without seeking an undergraduate degree. This diploma is a 28-credit hour program that can be completed in one academic year or longer, if necessary, as students set their own pace of study in earning the diploma. Students in this program will take core Bible and various ministry courses which will provide a foundation for competent service in the church. The diploma program is also designed to transition students into our Associate and Bachelor degree programs if students wish to continue their education at NEBC. Diploma students are not eligible for the Work Study Program; however, they do have the option to live in campus housing as a full-time Diploma student (12 credits per semester is considered full-time).
