Benefits of the Online Doctorate in Bible Exposition

As a leader in distance education since 1985, we understand what it takes to create a flexible and affordable education for busy people. Since we have been investing in distance and online learning for decades, our experience has taught us how to streamline our degree options so you can focus on what really matters to you. While many schools offer online degrees, we believe Liberty stands out.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • We are recognized by multiple institutions for our academic quality, affordability, and accessibility. Our commitment to excellence also helped us rank in the top 10% of Niche.com’s best online schools in America. Earning your online Ph.D. in Bible Exposition degree from a nonprofit university with this kind of recognition can help set you apart from others in your field.
  • Your ministry matters – so when you take 7-15 credit hours per semester in your divinity program, you’ll pay a discounted block rate of $2,750. It’s our way of supporting all you do to serve others.
  • Tuition for all undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs has not increased in 9 years – and counting. While many other online colleges have raised tuition, Liberty has been able to keep costs low as a nonprofit university. 
  • You can complete your online Ph.D. in Bible Exposition in as little as 3 years!
  • Unlike many Bible colleges or seminaries, Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
  • You can transfer in 12 qualifying masters-level credit hours to our Ph.D. in Bible Exposition, allowing you to complete as few as 48 doctorate-level credits to graduate.
