Redemption Seminary is delighted to be a partner with The Theopolis Institute
Accredited Transfer Credit Opportunity
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.
Examples of transfer credit (which can be added together for a maximum of nine total transfer credits)
Fellows Program completion – apply for six transfer credits.
Te Deum Fellowship Program completion – apply for three transfer credits.
Certificate Program completion – apply for six transfer credits.
Transfer credit opportunities are not limited to these options, so please reach out to Redemption to discuss your situation. Fill out the inquiry form below and let us know about your experience to start the process to determine what qualifies as transfer credit.
Applying to Redemption Seminary
Academic Eligibility
As a graduate school, Redemption Seminary must maintain an admission policy for its master’s program that requires an accredited undergraduate degree. However, each year, Redemption can offer a limited number of qualified exceptions to this policy for those who can demonstrate prior learning equivalent to an undergraduate degree.
No prerequisite is required to take non-graded courses.
Process
The Theopolis Institute and Redemption Seminary are separate institutions. You must apply to Redemption Seminary to take Redemption courses.
How Long Will it Take to Complete the Redemption Program?
It only takes 45 minutes daily—a regular Bible study time—to steadily work through courses. If you want to complete a course quickly within 8 weeks then you can budget for about 15 hours per week. The Redemption program at a moderately fast pace is two years (but earning transfer credit could remove some terms).
Benefits of Redemption

All materials (books) are included. Logos Redemption Library is gifted upon graduation to students who complete all the MABS courses. If SF511 and RS731 are skipped, students have the option to receive the library if they pay a $400 library fee ($200 per skipped course) charged at the time of graduation. This is optional and only needs to be paid if you want to keep the library.
