Attending a church that is also an international Bible school presents a unique opportunity. If you call TSC Summit your spiritual home, you are invited to seize that unique opportunity by signing up for a Summit course! The Christian life should be marked by depth, both in our affection for God and our knowledge of God. Summit’s classroom is a place where that can happen. As your Bible School, it is our joy to help you go cultivate more depth in your relationship with God.
AUDITING COURSES
This is an invitation for you to audit a Summit course. This means you are enrolled as a member of the course but are not required to complete any work. You will experience personal enrichment by attending the lectures and participating in learning activities, but without the pressure of completing assignments and projects. (NOTE: Audited courses do not count as transferrable credit to other colleges.)
OVERVIEW OF COURSES
Core Curriculum
Summit typically functions on a 16-week academic calendar (September-December; January-April). A typical 3-unit course includes:
- Three 60-minute classroom sessions per week or two 90-minute classroom sessions per week
- Approximately 3-5 hours of homework time per week
- It is estimated that students will complete approximately 90 hours of work per 3-unit course per
- academic semester
Summit’s curriculum is uniquely designed in that students take the same course schedule over their two-year period of enrollment. Courses are intended to build upon one another and provide the most strategic learning experience.
Elective Courses
Summit’s electives are crafted to both build off what is being learned in the core curriculum as well as to provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in a more specific area of ministry or theological study. Different course subjects are offered each term and students are permitted to register for the elective of their choice. This also provides an opportunity for the two classes to integrate with each other. Four broad categories are noted for the elective courses. In each term, one elective from each category should be represented. The categories are as follows:
- Biblical Studies
- Theology
- Vocational Ministry
- General Education
