Q. Are you accredited?
A. The degree programs at The Crossing Bible College are specifically designed to help students grow in biblical knowledge and be equipped for personal ministry. We are a non-accredited college that has a focus on religious education.
The College is not recognized by the United States Department of Education, but it is recognized by the State of Florida Commission for Independent Education as a Religious Institution that has met the requirements of state law and is not subject to governmental oversight.
Q: What levels of education do you offer?
A: The Crossing Bible College offers Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Theological Studies, and Associate of Theology degrees. We also offer a non-degree Certificate program.
Q: How long is each course and how much time will it take?
A: Each course is 8 weeks in length. Courses are 100% online, and all coursework can be done any time of day at the student’s convenience within the assigned week. The coursework consists of assigned reading, video teachings, online (written) discussions with peers, written essays, and quizzes. While each individual’s pace varies, most students are able to complete the required coursework in 3-8 hours per week.

Q: How many courses are in one academic year?
A: We offer five terms in each academic year: Fall A, Fall B, Spring A, Spring B, and Summer. A student who enrolls in one course each term is considered part-time and would complete five courses in an academic year. A student who enrolls in two courses each term is considered full-time and would complete ten courses in one academic year.
Q: What is the cost of tuition and what are my payment options?
A: Each degree-seeking course is $150. Students enrolled in a non-degree seeking certificate program pay just $50 per course. Each course must be paid in full prior to the first day of the term.
Q: Are my books included in my tuition?
A: No, the cost of books is not included. Textbooks range between $10 and $30 on average and can be purchased from Amazon or any other vendor. Hard copy books and Kindle versions (ebooks) are available for most required texts.
Q: Do you accept federal student loans, grants, GI Bills, or other loans?
A: No. We believe that everyone should be able to afford a quality Christian education without incurring debt. In order to keep tuition affordable, we are a self-pay, non-profit, non-government funded college, therefore we are unable to accept any form of payment other than debit/credit card.
Q: Will my credits transfer in from another college?
A: Students who have earned college credit from another institution for courses equivalent to those offered by TCBC may apply for transfer credit. The student will need to submit an official transcript for evaluation and may be asked to provide proof of course content by providing a course syllabus from the previous college.
Q: Will my TCBC credits transfer to another college if I leave?
A: Recognition of credits and degrees awarded by TCBC by other institutions, including other colleges and employers, is at the sole discretion of those respective institutions.
Q: Do you have to be a member of The Crossing Church to enroll in classes?
A: Students are not required to be members of The Crossing Church, but are encouraged to read through the college’s belief statements, as they are in line with those of The Crossing Church. We accept students from all over the world; students who are not local should keep in mind all due dates and times are based on Eastern Standard Time.
