Master of Arts Intercultural Studies
for
Bible College Graduates
Those who are Bible college graduates may receive advanced standing credit (ASC). If you receive ASC, you are not required to retake the course(s) and are not required to take additional course(s) to make up for the credits. The purpose for ASC is to reduce redundancy in your program. Thus, you may be able to complete the MIAS more quickly. Your faculty advisor will work with you to determine the amount of ASC you will receive.
