Do any of the conservative anabaptist Bible colleges have online or correspondence courses?

Not that I know of. Much of what the Anabaptist Bible schools are offering is the social atmosphere where one meets other like-minded people.

When I hear someone talk about their experience at Bible school, usually they are mentioning people they knew from there and notable instructors whom many of you would recognise as authors today of books you may have read. The focus is far, far less on getting some kind of credential, as one would be pursuing with an online degree from an accredited university.

Some students do focus of course on the M.R.S. degree, which can be difficult to achieve when limited to online or correspondence communications.

I've heard there are online M.Rs. courses now, but the quality can hit or miss.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

I think I did hear of it sometime ago, but I'd forgotten about it. What I'm really looking for is a rigorous Bible course from an Anabaptist point of view for my homeschoolers. I'm not interested in college credit.

FBEC isn't accredited although some specific colleges do transfer their credits. As far as I know, they don't do an online course.

Once Again, perhaps a rigorous online or by-mail correspondence course for Bible instruction is something worth taking initiative to start?
