North Star Bible Institute offers the disciple many opportunities for the serious student. Among them are:

• A higher education environment accompanied by greater expectations in disciple performance
• In-depth studies of books of the Bible, theology and related subject matter to prepare the disciple for leadership in ministry
• Group discussions that involve a broad variety of students, evaluating priorities in ministry and dissenting theological opinions
• Requirement of a high level of commitment which leads to leadership development and selection
• A verse by verse teaching of over 50 books of the Bible

The classes run in a 4 year rotation and can be taken one at a time or as many as the student wishes to take.

The Institute has trained many people who are now pastors, missionaries, Sunday School workers and others who are serving the Lord with knowledge.

Degrees Programs
 
The Graduate of Theology and the Bachelor of Divinity degrees are offered by the Institute through its extensive program of biblical and practical studies. The Graduate of Theology degree, usually completed in four years (and the degree for which the curriculum was originally designed), demands a completion of 100 credit hours, or an average of about twelve hours of classes per semester. The Bachelor of Divinity degree requires completion of 110 credit hours but demands more required courses than the Graduate of Theology. These required courses are more geared to meet the needs of the man who is called to the ministry.

Specific courses required for the degrees are taken in conjunction with various electives. courses required for graduation are so noted in the curriculum schedules in the catalog. Depending upon the semester, between four and eight credit hours are required classes during every semester; a full-time student fills the remainder of his schedule in any given semester with those electives that his judgment determines would be best for him.

The Semesters run from September to December (Fall Semester) and January to May (Spring Semester).
