[edit] Programs and Degrees

Summit offers both distance learning and resident study. Distance learning utilizes several types of media, requires the student to build up a library of various texts, and includes proctored exams. Resident classes are held at various times during the week on the campus of the school. Both programs may be combined toward a degree.

The school offers a Diploma of Biblical Studies program, Bachelors and Masters degrees in theology, sacred literature, and religion. The school also offers a Doctorate of Religion.

[edit] Accreditation

Summit is not an accredited school. Its website provides that information in several places.^[1] The school discourages attendance if one wishes to be ordained by a "mainline denomination", or be an armed forces chaplain.^[2] The school is considered to be among the better schools for training workers for their affiliated churches.^{[citation needed]} Many graduates of their diploma program score higher on general Bible tests than graduates of four-year programs at other Bible colleges.^{[citation needed]}
