We will arrange a site visit to assess the suitability of your facilities and discuss the college in detail with you and your ministry team and prospective students. Maintaining the integrity of the school is important to both BU and the affiliate. You are allowed to give any name to your school and simply adding that you are an affiliate of Biblical University. As soon as you are comfortable with these arrangements, you will need to submit the AGREEMENT OF MUTUAL ACADEMIC CO-OPERATION with the appropriate fees.

Another benefit of becoming an affiliate of BU is that the students, after graduation from your school could still continue their studies with BU.
Real Degrees
Typically, the affiliates (starters) run a 2 year programme and at the end of the 2 years, your students will receive a Diploma. Students who have credits to transfer may be eligible for a Bachelor's degree. Also, all students are able to continue with Biblical University, if they wish, to get a Bachelor's, Master's, or even Doctorate degree.
