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.
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. Many graduates of their diploma program score higher on general Bible tests than graduates of four-year programs at other Bible colleges.
The President of Summit is Dr. George L. Faull. Dr. Faull has been preaching since 1962, and earned a Doctor of Religion degree in 1981. He has been the evangelist at several local congregations and written for over 15 publications.
