At 7:00 p.m. all students will meet in the chapel for room assignments and a welcome to the new semester. Then, students will be dismissed to classes.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Because of its low tuition rate, MCU believes that all of our students are already enjoying financial assistance to some extent. Beyond the low rate of tuition, the following financial scholarships and discounts are available to those students wh o qualify. Please contact our office to see if you may qualify.

DISCOUNTS
1. SENIOR CITIZENS DISCOUNT - we are offering a discount of 20% tuition costs for any student 60 years of age or older.

2. FULL-TIME MINISTERS' DISCOUNT - many full-time ministers qualify for a reduction in tuition. Contact the Dean's Office for details.

3. SECOND FAMILY MEMBER DISCOUNT - all immediate family members receive a 15% tuition discount.

SCHOLARSHIPS
1. Financial Aid Scholarship - there is a limited number of tuition scholarships available for those students who have a serious financial need. In order to qualify, the student must fill out an application form, meet the income/expenditure requirements, and currently be tithing to his or her local church. This scholarship grants a 50% tuition reduction, and recipients will not be eligible for any other discounts or scholarships.

2. Christian Education Workers Scholarship - any student who is currently teaching full time in the Christian Education Dept. of Jesus Fellowship may apply for a 50% tuition reduction for any Religious Education Course listed in the MCU Catalog.

3. Student Work Scholarship - Any student having a financial need may apply for a Work Scholarship. At a rate of minimum wage, the student will be able to work towards paying his or her bill by performing certain tasks for the school, such as typing, co llation of student manuals, etc. The student must have a skill that the school is in need of in order to qualify.

OUR AUDITING POLICY
A student may audit any course he desires under the following arrangements.

1. The student is not required to do any homework for the course.
2. The student will not receive a course grade.
3. The cost remains the same as for a matriculating student.

REPEATING COURSES FREE
A student who has successfully completed an MCU course may "sit in" and repeat the class in future semesters free of charge. To do so, he must pre-register for the course, and provided there is adequate seating, the students will be allowed enrollment.

ESTABLISHING "LIFE EXPERIENCE EQUIVALENCY"

Previous life experience may provide equivalent knowledge and training in one or several areas. Life Experience Credits may be received in the following ways:

1. Transcripts from other colleges.

2. A passing score on the "Standardized Bible Content Test", offered twice each year. (Check the MCU calendar in the front of this catalog to see when it is being offered). A student receiving an "A" on the SBCT may automatically receive 9 credits toward Bible Survey I-IX, and be allowed to omit 3 courses. Anyone receiving a "B" will be given 6 credits for New Testament Survey without being required to take the courses. Anyone receiving a "C" will be given 3 credits and may omit one New Testament Survey Course (Fee of $25.00 for SBCT).

3. Documented personal studies reflecting college-level research and learning may be assessed for MCU credit. One wishing to establish "equivalency" for a course may do so by making an appointment with the Dean. A $20.00 fee will be assessed to the student in order to establish equivalency for the course. Normal tuition will be charged for a credit established.

THE MODULAR EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Modular Program allows students to take many MCU courses individually with a Mentor (MCU instructor) rather than in the classroom setting. For example, a student may take Hebrews in either a classroom setting or in a modular setting.

The student may begin a modular course at any time throughout the year. The modular course will run the same number of weeks as a classroom course and cost the same amount per credit hour ($90.00 per credit hour). However, rather than meeting weekly, the student will meet with the Mentor four times over the term. In the first meeting, the course design is laid out and assignments given. In the 2nd and 3rd meeting, the student's program is reviewed and his questions are answered. In the final meeting, the Course is consummated and a grade given.

Students enter the Modular Program for a number of reasons:

1. To take a specific course that will not be offered in MCU classes in the forth-coming year.
2. To take a specially designed course that is not generally offered by MCU, but which is relevant to their needs. (For example - one may want a specifically designed course on "Revelation" which MCU is not currently offering).
3. To help resolve transportation problems. (The Modular Program will consist of only four meetings, rather than weekly classes).
4. To increase the speed at which a student may take MCU courses. A student may "double up," taking both MCU classes and modular courses at the same time. Students receive the benefit of independent, self-paced study, while still under the guidance of a qualified tutor.

Please feel free to call our office with any questions concerning the Modular Education Program. Or, if you desire an appointment to begin a modular course, contact the Dean. The phone number is (305) 595-5315.

CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students may be allowed one absence for one-credit courses and two absences for two and three-credit courses without penalty. Tapes are to be obtained and class work completed fo r any classes missed. Students going above these limits will automatically be dropped to an auditing status.

LATE ENROLLMENT
No student shall be allowed to enroll in course which has been in session for more than two class periods. For a one-credit course, enrollments will not be accepted after one class session.

Each teacher is responsible for adherence to standardized grading criteria, as we desire our grading to be unified and focused. Adequate assignments will be established for each course so that the instructor can make pointed evaluations in each of several areas. Both subject comprehension and experiential assimilation will be carefully evaluated and weighed appropriately.

GRADING SYSTEM
1. Grades are issued according to the following scales:

Grade		Equivalent	Percentile Grade	Performance

Pt. Avge.	Letter Grade				Level	

4.0		A		94 - 100%		Exceptional

3.0		B		85 -  93%		Above Average

2.0		C		73 -  84%		Average

1.0		D		65 -  72%		Below Average

0.0		F		below 65%		Unacceptable

2. Some courses of a less academic nature may employ a "pass/fail" grading system. In such cases, assuming the student satisfactorily completes all requirements listed by the instructor in the courses syllabus, he shall receive a letter "P" for pass, and 2 grade points shall be awarded to his accumulative point average. Accordingly, if such requirements are not met, the student receives an "F" for fail and no grade points shall be awarded.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS
No class work or completed assignments will be received for credit following the third full week after completion of a semester.

STUDENT MINISTRY DEPARTMENT
We believe it is vital that a student be involved in ministry to continue to grow in Christ. We need to give out what we are receiving in or our growth is stifled. Our Student Ministry Department provides varied opportunities for students to be involve d in ministry and Christian service, including ministry in nursing homes, hospitals, prisons, inner-city missions, Sunday School classes, boys and girls groups, Radio & T.V. ministries, and home cell groups, to name just a few.

We feel a vital aspect of the learning situations is the achievement of a balance between knowledge and experience. Thus, we urge you to avail yourself of the many opportunities presented to you while a student at MCU.

Students committed to a Degree Program are required to be involved in at least two semesters of student ministry before graduating. Students are required to minister one hour per week during the two semesters.

As they move toward graduation, students enrolled in all minors/degree programs will be required to complete a "practicum" in their respective areas. A practicum is essentially a more structured, faculty-supervised "internship" period of ministry, desig ned to train the student in the skills he or she will need after practicum courses will be graded, and proficiency on the part of the student is required. Off-campus students may make arrangements with MCU for approval of a local Mentor.

COURSES ON AUDIOCASSETTE
MCU is now offering several courses on audio tape as well, through the Southern California Center for Christian Studies and Dr. Greg Bahnsen.

The credit hours for each course are listed with its description, along with the number of tapes in the package, and whether additional texts are required. Remember, tuition costs are $90 per credit; a 3-credit audio course would cost $270 plus the cost of the tapes (and additional texts, if any). Shipping and handling costs for tape sets are included in their prices.

CHAPEL
Chapel meets from 8:00-8:20 every night of class. Chapel is a time of worship and spiritual ministry as various speakers and instructors share devotionally with us out of their spirits. Chapel attendance is required. During this time students are encouraged to share personal burdens and prayer requests, as well as added insights to life gained from classroom experience with fellow members of the Body of Christ. It is the sincere desire of the administration of our school to see a genuine "Family/Relationship" built between all faculty, staff, and members of the student body; that the love of Christ might reign supreme in our midst. (Internet Program students are welcome to visit the Miami Christian University Online Prayer Chapel at any time; a java-enabled browser is required.)

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
1. Evidence of Christian Maturity and Responsibility as outlined in the objectives in the various areas of study.
2. 21 Credit Hours for a diploma; 60 Credit Hours for an Associates Degree; 120 Credit Hours for a Bachelors Degree; 24 Credit Hours beyond the Bachelors for the Masters' Degree; 60 Credit Hours beyond the Bachelors for the Doctorate.
3. All financial obligations must be paid in full.
4. A student must have a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade point average.

OFF-CAMPUS STUDIES PROGRAMS
Miami Christian University has designed degree programs (Correspondence and Internet) for those who, because of work or personal circumstances, need a method of study permitting flexibility. Our courses are planned for focused, off-campus, directed-learning experiences.

Frequently, adult students are committed to numerous concurrent pursuits - professional duties, family responsibilities, church activities, and civic or community involvement. Nevertheless, our educational method enables students to study when it is most convenient, prepare assignments at their own pace, progress individually, and earn degrees without the frustration of scheduling class attendance and meeting arbitrary, university-imposed deadlines.

MCU CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL
The Correspondence School student simply takes courses by mail or cassette. Course material consists of all the tests, assignments, and textbooks used in the classroom, as well any cassettes of the classroom instruction. Completed assignments and tests are mailed in and graded by an MCU instructor.

The syllabus is included in the cost of the course, but all textbooks and audiocassettes are extra. The cost of texts varies with each course.

A graduating correspondence student may participate with our other students in our annual commencement exercises.

COURSES AND DEGREES VIA THE INTERNET
The advent of the Internet, a worldwide network of computer systems, has expanded the opportunities in Biblical education for many who do not have the option of attending classes on campus, or who may simply wish to complete their coursework in the priva cy of their own residence using their computer and modem. The Internet is easily accessible in most areas of the world, through Bulletin Board Services (BBS's), private Internet Service Providers (shell and SLIP/PPP accounts), and many educational instit utions. Many on-line services (e.g., CompuServe, Prodigy, America OnLine) are also moving (or have moved) towards full Internet access for their customers.

MCU Internet courses consist mostly of directed independent study, combining many facets of the Modular Education Program and the Correspondence School. Like the Correspondence student, the Internet student simply takes courses without travelling to an actual classroom. Course material consists of all the tests, assignments, and textbooks used in the classroom, as well as outlines of the classroom instruction. Completed assignments and tests are emailed in and graded by an MCU instructor.

Like the Modular student, Internet students are able to take MCU courses individually with a Mentor (MCU instructor) rather than in the classroom setting. Meetings are pre-arranged on the Undernet IRC (Internet Relay Chat, a multi- user real-time communication/conversation program), where MCU maintains a virtual campus presence. If possible, Internet conference calls may be arranged, utilizing such tools as Internet Phone, WebPhone, or NetMeeting.

The Internet student may begin a course at any time throughout the year. The Internet course will cost the same amount per credit hour ($90.00) as a classroom course. However, rather than meeting weekly, the student will meet with the Mentor in the cha t rooms four times over the term (more if requested). In the first meeting, the course design is laid out and assignments are discussed. In the 2nd and 3rd meeting, the student's program is reviewed and his or her questions are answered. In the final m eeting, the Course is consummated and a grade given.

The possibilities are expanding very rapidly with the Internet, and MCU is committed to keeping pace with continuing advances in areas such as video and audio capabilities, multiconferencing, and multicasting; an Internet-only radio station has been established, and an Internet-only television station is coming soon. The Lord has created these tools to be used for the advancement of His kingdom, and MCU is in the vanguard of this move of God.

PROGRAM OF STUDY

MAJOR IN THEOLOGY - "CORE COURSES"
Miami Christian University offers a choice of nine majors: Ministry, Christian Counseling, Theology, Christian Education, Religious Administration, Christian Music, Christian Fine Arts, Christian Media Communications, and Christian Social Work. A ll students, however, are required to take "core" Theology courses.

A major in Theology encompasses four areas of study: 1) Bible, 2) Possessing the Holy Character of God, 3) Developing a Prophetic Consciousness, and 4) Doing the Mighty Works of God. The Theology major may then complete the degree with electives.

Selected coursework for the major in Theology is REQUIRED OF ALL STUDENTS regardless of their major or degree received. It provides a broad base of Bible knowledge and Christian maturity which is essential in any Christian ministry. It consists of 15 r equired courses (45 credits) for the Degree student, 5 courses (15 credits) for the Diploma student. These are called CORE COURSES. (Other elective courses are offered in each of the four areas of study).

B5Rv BOOK OF REVELATION (63 tapes) 6 cr.

A full and detailed exposition of the book of Revelation from the preterist and postmillenial perspective delivered by Dr. Greg Bahnsen, one which has influenced other writers today and was personally praised by Dr. Cornelius Van Til. Many who are stymie d over the meaning of this book express gratitude for this sane and exegetical presentation of its clear message.

B5L GOSPEL OF LUKE (100 tapes) 12 cr.

The amazing story of the Jewish Messiah is told by a Gentile physician in the gospel of Luke. Dr. Bahnsen systematically expounds the text, making valuable theological, historical and ethical applications. Very nourishing.

B5Pt EPISTLE OF I PETER (42 tapes) 6 cr.

Here is a verse by verse exposition of the Apostle Peter's first general epistle to the church, written by a man who has obviously been with Jesus, and written at a time when the church was about to undergo its first intense persecution at Roman hands.

B5H BOOK OF HEBREWS (52 tapes) 6 cr.

In this study Dr. Bahnsen systematically explains the book of Hebrews, showing the superiority of the New Covenant, the way in which it supersedes the Old Covenant, and how New Testament believers must live a life of persevering faith. Excellent example of how to dissect the text.

B5Pr BOOK OF PROVERBS (112 tapes) 12 cr.

Christians who overlook the intensely personal instruction and practical insights for daily affairs in the book of Proverbs will be poorer (and more foolish) for doing so. Dr. Bahnsen took four years to expound every verse, organized in topical lessons. Strongly recommended.

B4 HERMENEUTICS AND EXEGESIS (17 tapes) 3 cr.

A series of intellectually challenging and insightful lectures by Dr. Bahnsen which teaches principles and technical details of interpreting the text of Scripture. He tackles and attempts to resolve faithfully and clearly some of the biggest contemporary issues in hermeneutics - language and the concept of meaning, perspicuity and the Spirit, the relevance and use of extrabiblical scholarship, grammatical, syntactic, and cultural analysis, analogy of faith and canonical exegesis, "fuller sense," allegory vs. historical-grammatical exegesis, continuity and discontinuity between OT and NT literary genres and their treatment. As usual, you will appreciate Dr. Bahnsen's cogency and grow immensely in your ability to handle the Scriptures.

BIBLE SURVEY I-IX

A nine semester/3 year series which will guide the student through the entire Bible at a pace of about 2 chapters per day. The student will discover, record, and share his insights from every chapter in the Bible. The background and theme of each book will be studied. Major Biblical theme will be traced. The student will be exposed to proper principles of Bible interpretation, and will be required to work with them as he develops major Bible doctrines during these nine terms. One will trace the sovereignty of God, the purposes of God, the plan of salvation, the person of Jesus Christ, and the ways of man, throughout the Bible.

The format will be "guided self-discovery", training the student to seek out and discover the truth for himself under the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The goal of this series is the development of Biblical men and women whose lives are balanced by a personal knowledge of and obedience to the WHOLE counsel of God.
