Course Materials

  The SSCS Faculty Review Board carefully evaluates the contents of seminal works in the field before adopting course material as a part of the curriculum. Approved selections represent the world’s greatest Theological authors, and they share a Bible-based ancient/contemporary viewpoint of problems facing the Church, the world community and congregations.
  The courses cover an extensive selection of the subject material a student should expect to find in the traditional college. SSCS students are encouraged to assist in the selection of their course work. While there are a number of mandatory SSCS “core courses,” students also have the option of selecting the courses that would enhance the ministry they serve. If students have a particular subject or book that they prefer to explore and study for credit, they may do so upon receiving written approval from the Faculty Review Board.
 SSCS textbooks are about the same price as the Christian bookstores, and their costs are not included in the tuition. Students may purchase all textbooks and study materials from www.cbd.com or www.amazon.com. Please be aware that availability and prices of books and study materials are subject to change without prior notice.

Course Work Instruction

  All courses require a textbook and the Bible. Some courses are provided with a Study Guide (designated SG in the Catalog). The Study Guides are compiled of true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, and matching questions; no essay or report is required when the Study Guide is used.

  Courses that do not provide a Study Guide, require an essay or a report. Each chapter in the text book is a lesson assignment. Students are required to write in their own words a three to five page reflective essay or summary per chapter, depicting the beginning and ending of each chapter while accurately stating the author’s viewpoint.
