Undergraduate Program
MBC offers three programs: the Certificate of Completion, the Associate's in Theology, and the Bachelor's of Biblical Studies.
Certificate of Completion
The Certificate of Completion program is a non-graded course of study intended for students who are not prepared for college level academics. Some of the students who choose this program are those with limited English, those who did not complete high school, those with learning disabilities, or those for whom academics are extremely difficult. The spiritual training in this program is identical to that of the Associate in Theology and the Bachelor in Biblical Studies, however the students complete the courses on a Pass/Fail basis. Students must receive a grade of "P" and a total of 80 credits to receive the Certificate of Completion.
Associate in Theology
The Associate in Theology is a two-year program intended for students who have completed high school or a G.E.D. program or its equivalent. Students must take all the required courses and pass them with a grade of "C" or better.
Bachelor of Biblical Studies
The Bachelor of Biblical Studies is a two-year program for students who have completed at least two years of transferable general education. Students must take all the required courses and pass them with a grade of "C" or better, and must submit official transcripts which show the two years of general education. The B.B.S. consists of 80 semester credits earned at MBC, in addition to the previously earned Associates Degree at an approved/accredited school.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS:
AUDITING:
It could be that you are interested in taking a class(es) for your own personal intellectual stimulation and spiritual growth with no consideration for a certificate or a degree. AUDITING might be just what you are looking for.
Although you will not receive a grade or get official credit for taking the class, this is a great opportunity to dig deeper into God’s Word. You will not be required to hand in the assignments, to do the course work or take the tests. But we encourage you to be as involved as much as you possibly can for the sake of your own learning.
Auditing should not be viewed as a casual commitment. We would appreciate your regular attendance at the classes. Keeping up with the lectures and reading assignments is important to your learning and it also keeps the class moving along together. Remember that the entire class is affected if you are absent or late.
You may AUDIT any class for a flat fee of $25.00 per class. Please fill out an application and register for the class(es) you wish to Audit. Registration forms are available at the Church office or on Registration Day, Saturday, August 24th at 8:00 AM.
ACADEMIC PROBATION:
A grade point average of 2.0 must be maintained in order to attend the McMinnville Bible College. If a student's semester GPA drops below 2.0, the student will have one semester to bring the cumulative GPA up to 2.0. If the student is not able to bring the GPA up within one semester, he or she will be asked to move from the degree-seeking program to the Certificate of Completion program. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all required courses. Grades of "D+" or lower will not be considered a passing grade for any required course. "F" is a failing grade. Any course in which an "F" is received cannot be applied toward a degree or certificate.
