New Covenant International Bible College’s Accelerated Degree Programs are designed to be self-paced and flexible, allowing students to complete their research project according to their personal schedule, ministry commitments, and availability.

Because these programs are research-based and experiential in nature, there is no fixed semester system or traditional academic calendar.

Recommended Completion Timeframes

While students may work at their own pace, the following completion guidelines are provided for planning purposes:

Bachelor Level (Senior Research Paper)
Recommended completion: 3–6 months

Master Level (Thesis)
Recommended completion: 4–8 months

Doctor Level (Dissertation)
Recommended completion: 6–12 months

Doctor of Philosophy (Advanced Dissertation)
Recommended completion: 9–15 months

Extended Time Option

Students who require additional time due to ministry responsibilities, personal circumstances, or research depth may request an extension.

Maximum program access period:
Up to 24 months from enrollment for all degree levels.

Important Note

The Accelerated Degree Program emphasizes quality of research and spiritual depth over speed of completion. Students are encouraged to take the time needed to produce meaningful, well-developed research that reflects biblical understanding and ministry application.
