I have a MDiv and completed course work for M.S. in electrical enginerring (didnt finish the thesis) and have 15 years of ministry experience (a lot in the area of apologetics). Can i be qualified for DrApol program? What is your recommendation. Thanks
Yes, you are qualified. You will have to study some extra courses.
Sir,
i have a M. Div degree and i am interested in doing Doctorate in Apologetic s. And i also have 8 years experience in ministry. Can i apply for the above mentioned course? what is your recommendation. thank you.
Dear sir, I have a MBA in management from a university in UK, I am from Sri Lanka and into missions, will I be allowed to do dr of Christian apologestics ? God bless you
Yes, you will be allowed to join Dr Apol program
Christian greetings to everyone. I would like to make a follow up regarding the result of my final enrollment application in Doctor of Christian Apologetics. I sent my application last November 19, also I would like to make corrections regarding the word field that I wrongly spelled into failed in the questionnaire asking my purpose in enrolling this course, my apologies.
Expect a response this week
i have submitted my application for DTH programe, when the study will start
Good day. Just seeing this beautiful school for the first time.
Just wanted to know if I can study the Doctorate in Christian Apologetics with my Bachelor (Science). I couldn’t complete my Masters programme in Parasitology due to personal challenges in my country, Nigeria. In addition, I almost 4 years plus ministry experience.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes you can!
Since I could not see a way to enroll in the MApol (Master of Christian Apologetics) program, would it be possible to enroll in the DrApol (Doctor of Christian Apologetics) program, even without a theology-related Master’s degree (I do have a Master’s degree, just not in a theology focus). The “heavy curriculum focus” that is warned about above is not an issue for me, but I don’t know what other reasons you might have for the MTh or ThD requirements listed.
I have payed for the doctor of Christian apologetics for some time now and I am not hearing nothing from you. I have not recive not one course. I need to do the work. I want the knowledge.
Textbooks have been resent to you
I thank God for ISDET and Dr Philip in particular for allowing me to study MTH.God by Grace has allowed them to reach the world with the Gospel through this Free Internet bible school.The carriculum/content is of high quality.At the end of the course i will be thoroughly equipped in the world of academia if that is what the world requires.But my greatest desire is to be knowlegeable in the word of God for His Glory and my personal spiritual benefits more than pursuing issues of certifiation or/and accreditation.
I want to take this DrAPol course if it be really a free course.
And where can I be awarded the certificate after completion?
Hello,
