Theopolis Insitute
Apr 9, 2025

The Theopolis Institute offers several courses and programs that can provide up to 9 credits (master’s level) of transfer credit at Redemption Seminary. This would be 25% of the MABS program, reducing the cost and time to earn an accredited master’s degree in biblical studies without additional traveling.

Redemption Master’s Programs are designed to work within professional and ministry lives and responsibilities. Courses use a workbook approach (rather than long papers) and are graded with personal conversations with a mentor (rather than exams). Everything is 100% online and has flexible scheduling, so students can even make substantive progress using their daily Bible study time. The program structure can make these times in the Word very productive.
