Answers below:
- What is the total cost?
The major cost for this program is $599 for the "Shared Campus" version and $999 for the "Independent E-Learning Portal". Beyond that cost there is a monthly amount of $19 per purchased course that is deducted from your monthly tuition check. A total cost can only be calculated once you know exactly how many students you will have. [Back to the Top]
- What Will I make per student?
In the "Shared Campus" version of the program you will make $50 per course per student. So if you have 20 students who take an average two courses per month (many students take as many as four courses per month) this will net you $2000 per month for your school. This is four times the amount that you invested in the school.
The "E-Learning Portal" permits you to set the price of each course with $25 being retained for maintenance. So if you have 20 students who you charge $100 per course and they take an average of two courses a month, you would net $3000 per month, six times your original investment. [Back to the Top]
- Do I have to have a degree myself before I can start my own school?
Absolutely not, in matter a fact we have what we call a "Founders Degree" which comes free of charge to you as founder of the school and accelerates your education so that you can obtain a degree in a fraction amount of the time that it will take your students to complete theirs. [Back to the Top]
- Will I have to grade courses and review exams?
We give to you a completely turn key operation that includes a virtual campus dean that will communicate and interact with your students on your behalf. All of the exams are graded by the computer and returned to the student's email address immediately. You are of free to interact with the students to enhance your relationship with them as school president. [Back to the Top]
- Do I have to design my own website?
No, we do all of the heavy lifting for you. We will provide you with three website models to choose from. We also will ask you to complete a questionnaire so that we might accurately include the information that you want to reflect in your school's website. [Back to the Top]
- Do I have to buy website hosting and a domain name?
Again, we have developed this program to make it as hands free and maintenance free as possible on your end. Your one-time set up fee of $599 or $999 includes all storage, hosting, bandwidth and domain registration that is associate with your school. [Back to the Top]
- Is There a long term contract necessary to have a school?
Your commitment is on an annual basis. At the end of the year you will be asked to renew your relationship which comes in the form of a renewed accreditation letter. The renewal is only $299. Please be advised that if you choose to terminate your relationship with us all of the course content remains the property of Bible College Now. You are of course entitled to the school records of your students and we will make the coding for your website available to you, but we would no longer be able to host it on our server.

- Can my school offer just one degree?
The "Shared Campus" solution come with over 50 courses that can not be altered. However, the E-Learning Portal" solution does allow you to designate how many of our 50+ courses you want to offer. So, if you want to offer just one program or degree, you are free to do so. [Back to the Top]
- Who will present the degree's to the students?
We recommend that you, the founder, serve as the president of the school. As such, the degrees will be awarded by you. We are available to come and assist you in the ceremonies and help your context understand the importance and seriousness of your school. [Back to the Top]
- Can my church host the graduation?
By all means, we strongly encourage the graduation to be held at your church. You will in fact have a "Church Based Bible College" even though all of the work of your students will be done online. While you certainly can rent out another facility, we think that it makes the most sense to use your church facility.
