Is distance learning also known as correspondence education the right choice for you?
This style of learning requires an element of self-discipline but there are many advantages. If you find yourself short of self-discipline but desire to increase in this area, God delivers when we ask in His Name.
Distance Learning takes many shapes in today’s educational market. For Patriot Bible University students, we bring 35 years of experience to delivering a competent product. It is important that the prospective student determine if he/she is right for distance learning.
In a nutshell: the student selects a course and orders the coursebooks. PBU sends them out promptly by USPS Priority Mail. The student returns their completed workbook to PBU for grading which is returned to the student promptly after grading.
Academic skills and subject mastery are accomplished through clear explanation and responsive repetition. The graded workbook forms the basis of the student’s grade.
Our ‘teachers’ are Christianity’s most widely respected authors and teachers. Each self-directed student gains the benefit of being taught by renowned men of God through reading their books. Books are coupled with the KJV Bible and Patriot workbooks to give the student a spiritually appraised education.
One would be hard pressed to assemble a better group of teachers!
