School of Distance Education
ONLINE EDUCATIONAL UNIT
Education through Distance Learning has been a part of the World educational
system for more than 200 years. During that time, Distance Learning courses
have worked well for millions of graduates. Many successful graduates have
found Distance Learning to be their best option for learning.
"Building The People That Make The Ministry"
You can now learn wherever, whenever, however best suits you - it's your
choice Distance Learning lets you set your own pace. You are encouraged to spend as
much time as you need to fully understand any complex material. If you
progress a quickly through a course, you do not have to wait for the slowest
class members to catch up. You set your own pace; others don't impose their
pace upon you.Whenever a subject fascinates you, you may spend extra time on it. You are
not rushed through because the class must move on at a different pace.
GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
We are thrilled to offer a variety of options for you to grow in your
understanding of the Word of God and in the area of your calling into the
ministry. We have developed our courses in Theology, Ministry, Christian
Education and Biblical Studies for you to be able to achieve your
"Desire, Dream & Destiny" in ministerial education.
It is the purpose of GAITS/VIU to provide continued education programs
to students who are unable to attend full-time classes on our different
campuses. This can be accomplished through our external studies program. We
believe that we offer the finest Christian education available in a streamlined
fashion.
We have purposely abbreviated our requirements for graduate and post-graduate
degrees in an effort to hold the tuition to a minimum and allow the busy
minister ample time to complete his or her desired field of study. Our
experienced staff and faculty have labored untiringly over textbooks and
materials, separating arduous minor information from major academic
information.
We believe that upon review of the various programs, students
will see we have streamlined the supporting areas of study by offering the
same necessary information in condensed version for less reading and research of
materials. IT IS OUR POSITION THAT THE SAME INFORMATION CAN BE
OBTAINED AND RETAINED BY READING ONE BOOK RATHER THAN MANY,
provided it is the right book.
We invite you to join us in academically stimulating work that will enrich
your life and contribute to a strong biblical foundation for a lifetime
education and ministry.
This is an opportunity you have been looking for, make haste and grab it.
