Busy--that's how adults often describe themselves these days. Despite technology's time-saving conveniences, our society seems busier than ever. Juliet Schor, a professor at Harvard University, recently noted, "the shrinkage of leisure experienced by nearly all types of Americans has created a profound structural crisis of time."

With so much to do, adults sometimes view returning to college to complete a degree as the impossible dream. The time-consuming responsibilities of work, family, ministry and other commitments make further schooling seem unrealistic. To make the unrealistic a reality, Philadelphia Biblical University created Degree Completion, a program that allows adults to return to college and complete their undergraduate degree.

Degree Completion provides small, personalized classes scheduled to accommodate even the busiest person. Professors committed to Christ teach skills helpful in critical thinking, problem solving and decision making. The theories studied in class are then directly applied to the needs of Christians in the workplace, home and a variety of ministry settings.

The information provided on the links to the left further describe the Degree Completion program and provide what you need to apply. As the Dean of the School of Lifelong Learning, I thank you for your interest in the program and invite you to join PBU's growing University family.

Serving with you,
