The Lord has blessed Harvest Bible University with an exceptional
group of teachers, so that every
class is alive and vibrant. As you look through the course descriptions,
you will catch just a glimpse of
what you’ll learn in each class; every one is a rich experience
in the Living Word.
Schedule
Most classes are held during the evening on weekdays,
although some may be held on Saturday. Each class meets once
a week. The actual schedule of classes is printed every quarter
and may be obtained from the local university office.
The Quarter System
Traditionally, a school year consisted of two semesters. Today,
however, many colleges and universities
have three “quarters” instead of two semesters. Harvest
operates on the quarter system, which gives
three opportunities for students to start classes each year.
There are eleven school weeks in a quarter, for
total of 33 weeks in a typical school year. Each class is worth
two units of credit per quarter. A full-time load is 16 units
per quarter. Units of credit are converted between the semester
and the quarter systems as follows: One semester unit = 11/2
quarter units. One quarter unit = 2/3 semester unit.
Units per Course
Each course offered earns two units of credit per quarter. There
is a number in parentheses after each course description which
tells the total number of units offered in that course in a school
year. In other words, (2 units) is for a one-quarter class; (4
units) is for a two-quarter class; and (6 units) is for a three
quarter class.
Divisions
The total curriculum at Harvest is divided into groups of 48
units each, which may be completed in one year or longer, depending
upon how many units a student takes each quarter. As each group
is completed, the student earns a certificate, degree, or diploma
to signify completion of that part of the curriculum. Students
entering the graduate program will choose whether to major under
the school of theology or the school of world mission. |
