EQUIP - Bible Online

Need an alternative to a full-time degree on campus?

Harding's Equip - Bible Online in Bible and Ministry recognizes that many adult and non-traditional learners would like to advance their knowledge and skills in religious education but need a variety of options to fit complex lives. The CDE provides training and education appropriate for students entering into full-time or volunteer religious vocations. By designing a degree program for online students in addition to our current on-campus community for adult majors in Bible, Harding provides ministry education opportunities to students who are place-bound or need an alternative to a full-time degree on the main campus. Students are also able to connect with their broader learning community through our own chapel service, which is available on campus and online.
