Our Uniqueness
Omega Graduate School’s curricular requirements require students to incorporate the principles of their faith into their academic work and show how they influence their vocational practices. The School is not a Seminary; it does not offer courses in Biblical studies or theology, although students are encouraged to incorporate such study into assignments, and the curriculum supports this.
Adults who earn a degree from Omega Graduate School demonstrate a sincere commitment to scholarship. Our doctoral requirements match or exceed those of many programs with similar curricular goals. Omega Graduate School students reach their goals because learning has immediate application to their personal lives.
