THE TWO-YEAR CURRICULUM

The Southwest curriculum is divided into four academic quarters per year spanned over a two-year period. Each academic quarter is 11 weeks long. Students at Southwest School of Bible Studies will complete the equivalent of four-years of regular college study (plus additional hours) in an intensive two-year period of academic training. The following classes comprise the course of study required for graduating students. Credit hours are shown in parentheses:

Bible Exposition Bible Studies
Bible Doctrine & Apologetics Preaching


"The Bible teachers at Southwest are well educated in the Word of God, and they know how to teach it. I also commend them for their great love and concern for their students. It is a privilege to commend this great school."
