LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL Welcome to Global School of Theology. Our team at Global School of Theology is pleased to help you identify a programme of study that will meet your needs. We are delighted that you are seeking to prepare for God s call on your life. Our prospectus provides information concerning who we are, our mission, history, policies and procedures, and various plans of study. For years now Global School of Theology has been in the forefront in offering education that is biblically sound, spiritually edifying, and intellectually stimulating. We provide students with the best scholarship in contemporary Pentecostal curriculum. It is our belief that in today s world our students need a solid and practical approach to training. Our courses range from Bible and Theology to Intercultural Studies, Ministry, and General Education academic disciplines. Our programmes are offered in South Africa and around the world. Students can study in a residence setting, at a distance, and in church-based study groups. Since the late 1970 s Global School of Theology has been able to bring people from South Africa s diverse socio-cultural backgrounds to a single-minded, Kingdom-focused purpose and goal by preparing them to reach people with the gospel and build strong churches. Hundreds of students can attest to this fact by the effectiveness of their ministries through the length and breadth of the nation. Global School of Theology is registered and accredited as a private higher education institution that supports churches in South Africa. This is accomplished by accelerating theological and ministerial training through academic programmes with emphasis on applied learning and ministry through our Service Learning Requirements (SLRs). This requirement allows learners to move more rapidly from theory to practical application of what they are learning. Students benefit from the integration of academic rigor with practical application throughout their studies. Our courses are designed to help you reach specific goals. The approach is easy to follow and is designed to facilitate mastery learning. The time and effort you invest in the study of these materials will equip you and help you succeed in fulfilling your life s calling. Our faculty and staff are prepared to assist you throughout your academic training. This prospectus presents academic programmes that will help you more effectively win the lost and train the found as you serve God and His Son, Jesus Christ, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We desire our students to be known as people who: love God, love God s Word, and love people. Each course studied is expected to help build these and other godly characteristics in the lives of Global School of Theology students. Our outcome goal is that graduates are equipped to fulfil God s mission in today s world, empowered to walk in the Spirit, and equipped to lead the Church by applying what is learned in each course to the community for the Kingdom of God. Enrolment into Global School of Theology programmes and courses begins a process that is both encouraging and challenging: encouraging in that students gain a better understanding of God s Word and service in God s work; challenging in that the process includes spiritual and practical stretching and growth. The benefit of this process is evident in the lives of our students and in the lives of people our students touch. We welcome your active participation in a family that is impacting eternity by winning people to Christ and training believers for ministry to everyone, everywhere. Sincerely with every blessing, Dr. Terry Hosch, D.Min National Director and Principal of Global School of Theology South Africa, NPC Postgraduate Information 3

GENERAL INFORMATION Foreword The population of the world is increasing at an unprecedented rate. There is an explosive increase in knowledge, and people are eager to learn. Global School of Theology South Africa (known as Global University elsewhere) has responded to this need by developing its own instructional tools in print, audio, video, CD-ROM, and online delivery formats that take the school to the student. By utilizing the tools of contemporary educational technology, Global School of Theology is expanding the resources of the church. Global School of Theology s courses are applicable for distance education instruction, contact learning in classrooms, other types of group study, and individual study. Qualified writers from many nations write and develop the course materials that are then distributed around the world in many languages. This contributes to fulfilling Global s motto: Impacting eternity by winning the lost and training the found everywhere! History In1967, John Friesen opened an ICI (International Correspondence Institute) office in Roodepoort at the site of Gospel Publishing House (GPH). Referrals from the GPH gospel tract ministry served as the source for training students for Christian ministry. Global School of Theology (GST) evolved from these early days of training into a twenty-first century school that now trains South Africans for Christian ministry at degree and diploma levels. Degree-level programmes for the Global School of Theology were first offered in two locations: Africa Bible College in Rustenburg during the late 1970s, and at Hatfield Baptist Church beginning in 1978. John Friesen served the school until he retired in 1979. Margaret Anderson succeeded Friesen and directed the programme until Paul Seaberg was appointed director of the college programme in early 1982. Chuck Guerin became the director in 1988. During the next four years, the school grew to about six hundred active students. Dr Donald Smeeton assumed leadership in 1993 and served as Principal until 1996 when Jim Ramsey became interim director. In January 2002, Mgi Mabuza (one of the school s first graduates) was appointed Principal of Global School of Theology a position he held until October 2010. Dr Terry Hosch began serving as the National Director and Principal of GST at that time. Global School of Theology began an undergraduate degree programme in 1966. Since July 1980, Global School of Theology has provided study guides, textbooks, and student services to its growing body of students in South Africa. Global School of Theology s vision is to assist South Africans with training for Christian ministry based on the highest quality curriculum and service using every available means possible. Global School of Theology began a post-graduate degree programme in 1996. Since that time, numerous students have completed their M.A. degree and are serving the South African church and churches in other nations. Mission of Global School of Theology Global School of Theology is a Christian higher education institution in the Pentecostal tradition that: integrates education and service by a network of student support throughout South Africa provides access to ministerial training from undergraduate level to the postgraduate level serves the Church and local communities by training and equipping individuals for Gospel ministry Doctrinal Statement Global School of Theology subscribes to the 16 fundamental truths of the Assemblies of God which provide a solid biblical basis for life, learning, and ministry. 1. WE BELIEVE... the Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. 2. WE BELIEVE... there is only one true God revealed in three persons... Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity). 3. WE BELIEVE... in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God s son Jesus was both human and divine. 4. WE BELIEVE... though originally good, man willingly fell to sin ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. 5. WE BELIEVE... every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation (accepting Christ s offer of forgiveness for sin). 6. WE BELIEVE... and practice two ordinances (1) Water Baptism by immersion after repenting of one s sins and receiving Christ s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ s suffering and death for our salvation. 7. WE BELIEVE... the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. 8. WE BELIEVE... the initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues, as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles. 4 Postgraduate Information

9. WE BELIEVE... sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christ like. 10. WE BELIEVE... The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe The Church is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. 11. WE BELIEVE... a divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers the Church. 12. WE BELIEVE... divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). 13. WE BELIEVE... in the Blessed Hope when Jesus raptures His Church prior to His return to earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. 14. WE BELIEVE... in the Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Saviour who died for them and all mankind. 15. WE BELIEVE a Final Judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire. 16. WE BELIEVE... and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. And so shall we forever be with the Lord! Notice of Non-Discriminatory Policy Global School of Theology employs, advances, admits, and treats, both in its employment and its educational programmes, all persons without regard to their race, colour, national or ethnic origin, gender, age, or *disability. *Global School of Theology is accessible for those with physical disabilities since our studies can be completed anywhere, anytime in our distance learning programme and our campus can accommodate day students that have disabilities.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS Basic Standards of Academic Integrity Registration at Global School of Theology requires adherence to the school s standards of academic integrity. Many of these standards may be intuitively understood and cannot in any case be listed exhaustively; the following examples represent some basic types of behaviour that are unacceptable: 1. Cheating: (a) using unauthorized notes, aids, or information when taking an examination; (b) submitting work done by someone else as your own; (c) copying or paraphrasing someone else s essays, projects, or other work and submitting it as your own. 2. Plagiarizing: submitting someone else s work and claiming it as your own or neglecting to give appropriate documentation when using any kind of reference materials. Plagiarism, whether purposeful or unintentional, includes copying or paraphrasing materials from the study guide, textbook, someone else s writing, or any other source (published or unpublished). Any words, thoughts, or ideas taken from any other source must be properly documented according to the Global University Undergraduate Form and Style Guide. 3. Fabricating: falsifying or inventing any information, data, or citation. 4. Obtaining an unfair advantage: (a) stealing, reproducing, circulating, or otherwise gaining access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the instructor or examination supervisor; (b) unauthorized collaborating on an academic assignment; (c) retaining, possessing, using, or circulating previously given examination materials where those materials clearly indicate they are to be returned to the examination supervisor or to the Global School of Theology s offices at the conclusion of the examination. Disciplinary action for not maintaining basic standards of academic integrity may range from lowering a grade for a paper to dismissal from the programme, depending on the severity of the offense. Copyright All rights are reserved. Global School of Theology/Global University materials (Study Guides, Independent Study Textbooks, Student Packets, and any other GST/GU undergraduate and postgraduate materials) are copyright protected and may not be reproduced or adapted in any form or used by any school or study group or individual for any use outside of GST active enrolments or approved faculty currently working with Global School of Theology. Code of Conduct Global School of Theology is a Christian educational institution aiming to, among other things, equip men and women to fulfil God s calling on their lives. Christian conduct is therefore an expected norm. While Global School of Theology reaches many cultures around the world, it is understood that some practices acceptable in one culture may not be acceptable in another. As Christians we look to the Scripture to guide our conduct. Therefore, students are expected to conduct themselves according to biblical principles of behaviour. Examples of such principles are found in Romans 12:9 21; Galatians 5:22 23; and Ephesians 4:1 3, 25 32. The Code of Conduct also applies to verbal and written communication with Global School of Theology representatives, faculty, staff, and students. Furthermore, it extends to all electronic communication, including threaded discussions and e-mail with faculty and students. Violation of the Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal from the programme. Due Process of Student Rights In all cases involving academic dishonesty, the student charged or suspected shall, at a minimum, be accorded the following rights: 1. Prompt investigation of all charges of academic dishonesty, to be conducted, insofar as possible, in a manner that prevents public disclosure of the student s identity. Such investigation may include informal review and discussion with an official of the school prior to bringing a charge, provided that such review does not compromise the rights of the student in the formal process. 2. Reasonable written notice of the facts and evidence underlying the charge of academic dishonesty and of the principle(s) of academic integrity said to have been violated. 3. Reasonable written notice of the procedure by which the accuracy of the charge will be determined. 4. Reasonable time, if requested, within which to prepare a response to the charge. 5. A hearing or meeting at which the student involved may be heard and the accuracy of the charge determined by a neutral decision maker. 6. Review of any adverse initial determination, if requested, by an appeals committee to whom the student has access in person. Generally, implementation of sanctions will be suspended until all appeals made by the student have been exhausted. 7. Final review of an unsuccessful appeal, if requested, by the president or an advisory committee designated by the president. 10 Postgraduate Information

Tracking and Addressing Student Complaints Global School of Theology takes complaints and grievances seriously. The Department of Student Services, of GST s Academic office, maintains and monitors a complaint or grievance file. The complaints received usually belong in two general categories: (1) the course content or (2) the course delivery and support system. Complaints relating to course content are referred to the University Materials Development (UMD) department and to the Professor of Record (POR) for the course. A student service representative will then contact the student with an answer to the student s question(s) or with a solution to the student s problem. Complaints relating to the delivery and support system are handled through the Student Services department. A student service representative will contact the student to resolve the difficulty. In some cases, this leads to the establishment of new policies or procedures to improve the delivery system for all students. In more difficult or complex situations, especially those involving problems spanning more than one department, the complaint is referred to the Academic Board. As necessary, the Academic Board will also become involved to resolve student complaints in a timely and satisfactory manner. Should a student wish to file a grievance with Global School of Theology, he or she may choose any one of the following three contacts: 1. A student may contact a Global School of Theology faculty member or national office staff member by e-mail, phone, fax, post / mail, or in person. Often, problems are easily resolved at this level. 2. A student may contact the Student Services department of Global School of Theology by e-mail, phone, fax, post/mail, or in person. Student Services personnel are trained to resolve student concerns. 3. A student may contact any administrator of Global School of Theology by e-mail, phone, fax, post/mail, or in person. In these cases, the matter typically will require a period of investigation in order to be resolved. Once a concern, complaint, or grievance is received, every effort will be made to resolve the issue personably and quickly. Should a student not be satisfied with the resolution, the student can appeal the decision to the Academic Board of Global School of Theology who will take it to the Board of Directors if deemed necessary. The decision of the Board of Directors will be deemed final. INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES Global School of Theology provides delivery of the educational programmes through the use of printed materials, Internet, CD-ROM, and other electronic media. Library Resources The Global University Library, located within GU s International Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, USA, is a collection of both print and electronic resources that support the curriculum of the programmes offered by the university. The library, which may be utilized for general research, is comprised of more than 25,000 volumes, including books, reference materials, periodicals, maps, microfiche, audio and video materials, and vertical files. The Global University Library provides valuable online resources such as CREDO Reference, Encyclopedia Britannica Online Academic Edition, Academic Search Elite, and American Theological Association (ATLA) databases. These resources provide GU s undergraduate and graduate students access to thousands of peer-reviewed journals, as well as general reference resources. You may access these resources via the Global University Library website at www.library.globaluniversity.edu. Online chat and e-mail Ask-A-Librarian features enable you to direct your research questions to a Global University reference librarian. Through technology, Global University is continually expanding its online information services to support and enhance the distance-learning experience for its students. The GST Western Cape tuition centre provides a physical research library which also includes internet access to the Global University online library for student use. Postgraduate Information 11

OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN The Master of Arts degree is designed to equip students with skills and methodologies to be lifelong learners as they participate in individual research, personal scholarship, and practical application that prepares them to do advanced, indepth, specialized study of the Bible and related subjects at the post-baccalaureate degree level. Global School of Theology reserves the right to revise all announcements contained in this prospectus and, at its discretion, to make reasonable substitutions or changes in requirements to improve or upgrade academic programs. For entrance requirements, see section on Admission Status with Global School of Theology. Mission and Goals The twofold mission of the Graduate School of Theology is to accomplish the following overarching goals: 1. Train leaders for the various ministries of the church by providing theologically sound graduatelevel degree courses that furnish students with intellectually broad and deep learning activities and experiences that are responsive to their spiritual and intellectual needs. 2. Equip leaders to minister, evangelize, and teach the Pentecostal message using methods that are culturally relevant and designed to integrate faith and practice. In the process of completing a graduate degree program with Global School of Theology, the student is guided to (1) further develop skills to communicate the gospel message through various styles of written and oral dialogue; (2) grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as he or she becomes a more effective leader within the spheres of home, church, and society; (3) demonstrate awareness and understanding of his or her cultural heritage and that of others; and (4) interact with diverse cultures in a global context. The Master of Arts Degree The Master of Arts curriculum is designed for the student who desires to serve in one of the ministries of the church, especially that of pastor, evangelist, or teacher. In-depth research and studies require and encourage the student to think critically, analytically, and synthetically about ministryrelated issues. Special attention is given to preparing students to teach, lead, and minister the uniqueness of the Christian faith from a Pentecostal perspective. Completion of the Master of Arts in Ministerial Studies equips the student to: 1. Minister and serve with professional excellence as pastor, educator, leader, missionary, and support staff within church, missions, and educational organizations. 2. Integrate various approaches to biblical and theological studies into ministry. 3. Develop and practice valid systems of biblical hermeneutics and exegesis. 4. Engage in advanced theological reflection that will improve ministry skills and practice. 5. Develop a strong Pentecostal theological perspective. 6. Exhibit writing and speaking skills that are necessary in ministerial practice and research. 7. Engage in research and studies beyond the Master of Arts degree. Assessment of Objectives Objectives in the affective domain will be assessed through reflective papers, service learning requirements, practicums, internships, and follow-up surveys. Goals in the cognitive domain will be assessed through course papers, capstone papers, and theses as applicable. Biblical language skills will be assessed by proctored objective and translation exams. Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) At graduate level, Global School of Theology recognizes prior learning, such as through appropriate ministry experience, as a factor in qualifying for admission to the Master of Arts programme. The RPL process should be applied to undergraduate credits to qualify for admission. Postgraduate credit is not given by RPL. If you have already studied elsewhere, you may qualify for transfer of existing credits. Ask for the Request for Academic Records form to send to the institution that granted you credits or qualifications. Only official transcripts from those institutions can be used for transferring credits. As part of your Application for study with GST, we will evaluate your existing qualifications and experience and add the credits against your programme requirements. A degree audit will be sent to you after transfer or completion of half the credits toward the MA and it will guide you through the remaining requirements for your degree. Application and Enrolment Procedures & Policies To apply and enrol through Global School of Theology National Office or a local study group follow this procedure: 1. Obtain a GST undergraduate application and a Subject Enrolment Card (SEC) from your enrolment office. 2. Complete and return the GST application form with the proof of payment to your enrolment office with 14 Postgraduate Information

certified copies of your ID/Passport (preferably in color). 3. After all materials, including references and transcripts, have been received and processed, you will be notified by mail and/or email of the results. Once admitted, your enrolment office will assist you and provide you with the necessary course materials. To ensure quality student servicing and provide for consistent communication, all student requests and questions should be communicated to your enrolment office. Postgraduate Studies Admission Policies An applicant for admission to the GST School of Postgraduate Studies should be motivated to do research in one of the approved fields of study. The applicant is granted admission status based on the following criteria which is in line with Global School of Theology. Full admission is granted on the basis of an applicant s academic competency as demonstrated in the following ways: 1. Degree and Grade Point Average. The applicant must have a Bachelor of Arts or equivalent degree from an accredited college or university, with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B or 80 percent cumulative grade average) on a 4.0 scale. If the grade point average is lower than 3.09 (or 80 percent cumulative grade average), an applicant may be granted probationary admission to the School of Graduate Studies. 2. Undergraduate Content Requirements. The applicant should have completed, with a minimum score of 70 percent (C or 2.0), at least 15 undergraduate credits in Bible and theology as indicated by transcript(s) from accredited institution(s). An applicant who meets all other requirements for full admission to the School of Graduate Studies may be granted provisional admission, pending fulfillment of the Bible/theology prerequisites before enrolling in graduate courses. Applicants who do not meet the 15-credit course requirement for Bible/theology must fulfill the requirements in one (or a combination) of the following ways prior to being granted full admission to the School of Graduate Studies: a. Complete successfully, with a minimum score of 70 percent (C or 2.0), Bible/theology courses as indicated by transcript(s) from accredited institutions(s). b. Complete successfully, with a minimum score of 70 percent (C or 2.0), proctored Bible and theology proficiency examinations furnished by the School of Graduate Studies and administered according to Global University guidelines. This option is available only to provisionally accepted students who have a strong understanding of subject matter from either non-credit studies or extensive ministerial training and experience, as demonstrated by one of more of the following: i. Courses taken at an unaccredited Bible college ii. Non-credit training for ministerial credentials iii. Active full-time ministry of at least three years All prerequisite courses and/or waivers are subject to approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Audited courses will not be considered as fulfillment of undergraduate prerequisites. 3. English Proficiency. For admission to the School of Graduate Studies, the applicant must also demonstrate ability to study and communicate (write and speak) in English. Each applicant, therefore, will be required to submit a five-to-ten-page essay on a designated topic, which will be evaluated by the office of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies for form and content. The following evaluation criteria will be used: (a) ability in English usage, including grammar, syntax, and style; (b) ability to think and communicate logically; (c) ability to do critical analysis; and (d) ability to organize an essay in an orderly fashion. Provisional Admission to Graduate Studies An applicant may be given provisional admission to the School of Graduate Studies pending completion of a bachelor s degree or undergraduate Bible and theology prerequisites. Full admission to the School of Graduate Studies will be granted when the student completes the pending item(s) and meets all admission requirements. A provisional student will be allowed to enroll in prescribed Global School of Theology undergraduate courses to fulfill undergraduate prerequisites. Provisional students who have a strong understanding of subject matter from either noncredit studies or extensive ministerial training and experience may choose to take a proctored prerequisite proficiency exam in lieu of enrolling in prescribed undergraduate course(s). A student who does not receive a grade of 70 percent or higher on a proficiency exam must pass the respective prescribed course with a grade of 70 percent (C or 2.0) or higher prior to being granted full admission to the School of Graduate Studies. Probationary Admission to Graduate Studies If an applicant does not meet all of the requirements for full admission to the School of Graduate Studies, probationary admission may be granted. The student must then obtain a minimum cumulative grade average of 80 percent (grade point average of 3.0 or B) for the four core courses (or the first 12 graduate credits completed with Global School of Theology). Failure to obtain at least 70 percent (C or 2.0) on any of these courses will disqualify a student from admission Postgraduate Information 15

to any of the Master of Arts degree programmes. The student will be notified in writing of disqualification. Special Student Admission to Graduate Studies An applicant who has submitted an application packet for full admission to the School of Graduate Studies, but for whom all application packet components have not been received and evaluated, may be granted special student status. Special student status allows the student to enroll in a maximum of 9 credits at the graduate level. When all missing components are received, the student will be granted admission status based on evaluation of all components of the application packet. An applicant who has a bachelor s degree but does not plan to pursue a master s degree from Global School of Theology may submit an application for special student status with the applicable fee. Special student status will allow the student to enroll in a maximum of 9 credits at the graduate level. In order to enroll in additional credits, the student will be required to submit a complete application packet and pay the applicable fee. A maximum of 9 credits may be taken under special student status. All fees and individual course requirements remain the same as for students who are pursuing a degree programme. No credits earned under special student status will be accepted into a degree programme until a student completes an application packet and pays applicable fees for full admission to the School of Graduate Studies. Student Advisement Global School of Theology strives to provide as much assistance as possible in planning the educational programmes of its students. However, it is the interest and self-discipline of students that determine success in meeting educational goals. Certain courses have prerequisites or recommended sequences that students are encouraged to follow. These prerequisites and recommendations are noted in the course descriptions. Student Number and Student Card A student is issued a student number when his or her application is processed and accepted. The student number must be used on all coursework and on all correspondence or electronic communication between the student and the Global School of Theology enrolment office. Under no circumstances will the student be permitted to take a final examination nor will credit be given for a course without an assigned student number. Transfer of Global School of Theology Credit Global School of Theology graduates have been accepted into doctoral programmes at a number of institutions in South Africa, the United States, and elsewhere. However, it is the student s responsibility to verify the applicability of Global School of Theology credits toward any educational goal he or she may have. Students who enrol in a Global School of Theology course or courses and intend to transfer the credit to another institution must contact the receiving institution to verify that the institution will accept Global School of Theology transfer credits. Transcripts of Global School of Theology Credit A transcript (a printed report listing all course enrolments, final grades, grade point average, credits earned, and credits attempted by a student) can be provided by requesting the official transcript request form from the GST postgrad office. Once you complete, sign, and return the form, transcripts are processed and mailed directly to your postal address. While courses may be transferred from other qualified institutions, grade point averages are determined only on the basis of courses completed at Global School of Theology. An unofficial transcript is issued to the student upon graduation or when the student submits a signed request for one. An unofficial transcript does not have the seal on it. Official transcripts are issued only by the Registrar s Office at the International Office and are sent to academic institutions, employers, or other institutions upon the student s signed, written request. Students requesting a transcript must specify whether an official or unofficial transcript is needed. The signed and dated request must include the following information: Student s full name and identification number Student s birth date and ID number Student s current mailing address The address of the employer or institution to which the transcript is to be sent Student s signature and date the request is made 16 Postgraduate Information

COURSE GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENT Time Limit for Completing a Course The time limit for completing a Global School of Theology undergraduate course is six months from the date the order is processed by Global School of Theology. Students are expected to complete their studies within this prescribed length of time. However, where circumstances merit an extension of up to six months may be granted upon request. Additional extensions are not permitted. Written Assignments Global School of Theology (GST) courses require written projects or research papers. You will be provided with instructions for completing these written assignments, and a Global Undergraduate Form and Style Guide are available to assist you. Written assignments are to be submitted according to the guidelines presented in the Global Undergraduate Form and Style Guide. Written assignments that do not follow the criteria outlined in the style guide will have points deducted from the assignment score. The Global Undergraduate Form and Style Guide may be downloaded from Global University s Web site or purchased with your course materials from your enrolment office. After you complete an assignment, be sure to label it with your name, address, student identification number, course title, course code, print number (PN), and assignment title. Then submit it to your Global School of Theology enrolment office. Your work will be returned with a grade and any comments the faculty member thinks you may find helpful. You should submit your written assignments 3 weeks before requesting the final examination, since the graded assignments will assist you in your review for the examination. Students who re-enrol in a course must complete all course requirements, including retaking the final exam. Service Learning Requirement A service learning requirement (SLR) is required in all undergraduate courses except the biblical languages courses. The SLR is designed to help students develop their ability to apply and present course principles to others in their community, thereby developing ministry and practical skills while meeting real-world needs. An SLR Report must be submitted 3 weeks before the final examination request. The student will receive course credit and a final grade only after the SLR is completed and assessed as satisfactory by a faculty member. Notification of Grades The Global University International Office scores all final examinations. Upon completion of a course, the grade is sent by postal service or e-mail to the student on a Final Grade Report (FGR) form. The grade is permanently recorded at the Global School of Theology and the International Office. Grading Scale Global School of Theology undergraduate courses are graded according to the following scale: A+ 97 100 4.00 Superior A 93-96 A- 90-92 3.67 B+ 87-89 3.33 B 83-86 3.00 B- 80-82 2.67 C+ 77-79 2.33 C 73-76 2.00 C- 70-72 1.67 D+ 67-69 1.33 D 63-66 1.00 D- 60-62 0.67 Excellent Good Satisfactory Poor F 0-59 0.00 Failing The minimum passing score for any individual course at postgraduate level is a score of C (70 percent). A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 is required to graduate. Resubmitting Written Assignments If a student receives a score of 60-75 points out of the maximum 100 points on a written assignment, the student can request permission to resubmit and attempt to raise his or her score. (The maximum grade allowed on a resubmission is 80 points.) If the student receives a score of 55 points or below, the student automatically has the option to resubmit the assignment, and the faculty grader should encourage the student to do so. However, the student is not required to resubmit the assignment. In all cases, only one resubmission is permitted per assignment. The maximum grade that can be assigned to a resubmitted assignment is 80 points. The resubmission score, whether higher or lower than the original score, will be the final score. Resubmissions must be submitted before the course expiration date. Resubmissions received after the six-month expiration date will not be scored unless the course has been extended. Resubmissions received after the one-year expiration date will not be scored. The student will need to pay the full tuition and re-enrol in the course for the resubmission to be scored. If You Do Not Pass a Course Global School of Theology is committed to the goal of fostering a high level of success in learning on the part of Postgraduate Information 17

each student. The course materials are designed to enhance the possibility of success for students who carefully follow the instructional sequences given and complete all learning exercises according to the instructions in the Study Guide. To qualify to retake your final exam, you must: 1. Have received a final grade for the course below 70 percent and scored less than 70 percent on the final exam. 2. Contact your enrolment office to retake the examination. (A retake fee may apply.) 3. Complete the retake exam before the course expiration date. Retake exams completed after the six-month expiration date will not be scored unless the course has been extended. Retake exams taken after the one-year expiration date are null and void. The student will need to pay the full tuition, re-enrol in the course, and then submit a new final exam request. Before taking the second examination, carefully review the course materials and attempt to correct learning inadequacies. The score received on the retake examination, whether higher or lower than the original exam score, is the final score. If you fail to earn a passing score through reexamination and you desire to take the exam a third time, you will be required to re-enrol in the course and pay the applicable fees to receive credit. Online Library The Global University Library provides students and faculty access to thousands of resources for biblical study and theological research. Course Research Guides feature useful resources compiled by faculty and librarians to help in writing course projects and collateral reading or writing assignments. You may access these resources via the Global University Library Web site at library.globaluniversity.edu or through the Library link on the Global University Web site. Global University is continually expanding its online information services in conjunction with the Global University Library and the university s global library network. Special Projects Each division of the undergraduate programme provides the possibility of a special project on the fourth level of studies. These are individualized activities using special readings and / or research techniques to meet some unique need in the particular division of study. Any student desiring to do a special project must make a proposal to the Dean of the Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology through the GST National Office. Up to three credits may be earned. The last number in the course code for the special project reflects the assigned number of credits that can be earned; for example, BIB 4093 earns three credits or 11.25 South African credits. The following are suggested guidelines for completing a special project: 1. The work must be done in a specific academic discipline, such as Bible, theology, church ministries, or intercultural studies. 2. Any student who wishes to enrol in a special project must first submit a proposal of about 100 words in length and a Subject Enrolment Card (SEC) or course order to his or her enrolment office. The student should keep a copy of the proposal. The proposal must a) Describe the nature and significance of the special project. b) Describe the methods to be used to carry out the study (interviews, surveys, reading, and other research). 3. At the GST National Office, the proposal will be forwarded to the Dean of the Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology for approval. An SEC or course order for a special project will be processed only after the student s proposal has been approved. A student may proceed with the special project after he or she has received notification that the proposal has been approved and he or she is enrolled in the special project course. 4. The student will submit the special project with a minimum of 1,500 words for each credit to be earned; that is, a minimum of 4,500 words must be submitted for the threecredit special project. Information on how to prepare this paper using proper formatting can be found in the Global s Undergraduate Form and Style Guide. 5. The student s work will be evaluated based on the clarity and structure of the paper s content and the appropriateness of the research and / or reading to the subject being examined. The paper must demonstrate a depth of insight and practical application. 6. Special project courses are restricted to a maximum of six credit hours per student. 7. Special project courses are restricted to students who are within 32 credits of completing a degree programme. 18 Postgraduate Information

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Some course numbers have been changed in an effort to accommodate current and future curriculum and program development. The following course descriptions include reference numbers for courses for which numbers have changed during the past two years. Courses that are not currently available include the notation, Publication date to be announced. Students may choose the Bible version of their choice but the Graduate School of Theology prefers the English Standard Version. Bible (BIB) Biblical Studies Division BIB 5013 Historical Approach to Hermeneutics This historical treatment of biblical hermeneutics is designed to give students a perspective on the different ways in which the Bible has been interpreted in many times and cultures. Students will gain an appreciation of the role of dominant philosophical systems in providing a context for hermeneutical theory and insight into the presuppositions of the modern Western approach to hermeneutics. In addition, students will learn new criteria for judging inappropriate contemporary approaches to hermeneutics. Bible, History, New Testament, Old Testament.

BIB 5033 The Bible as Literature: Theory and Methodology One of the blessings of the literary approach to biblical study has been the recognition that the Bible contains many different genres or types of literature, including poetry, narratives, proverbs, visionary literature, and other genres. The literary features of these different genres are presented in this course, which provides students the opportunity to apply the techniques of literary criticism to these various genres of biblical texts. Bible, New Testament, Old Testament. The Bible as Literature: Theory and Methodology, Graduate Study Guide by Leland Ryken; How to Read the Bible as Literature by Leland Ryken; Words of Delight by Leland Ryken; and an English Standard Version (preferred) or Revised Standard Version (acceptable) of the Bible. BIB 5543 Foundations of Biblical Language This course provides a basic understanding of the structure and elements of biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek for those students who are not pursuing formal studies in either language. It will enable the student to develop advanced skills in using biblical language research tools (lexicons, concordances, grammars, wordbooks, etc.) in order to deepen their understanding of the biblical texts. This, in turn, will further enhance and advance the student s ministry to others. Bible, Biblical Language. Foundations of Biblical Language, Graduate Study Guide by James E.

BIB 6293 Hermeneutics: God s Message and Its Meaning In this course, general rules that apply to grammatical-historical interpretation will be presented and contrasted with other common systems of hermeneutics. Students are challenged to develop a system of biblical exegesis that adheres to basic rules of hermeneutics. To accomplish this, the student is required to demonstrate these principles in the exposition of selected passages. A secondary goal is to acquaint the student with unique factors that affect interpretation of major literature genres in the Bible. To achieve this, the student will practice interpreting within the genres of historical narrative, poetry, parables, and epistles. Core course for all graduate degree programs.

BIB 6926 Thesis: Biblical Studies (6 credits) This course requires field-based research after identification of a problem of a practical nature relating to some phase of biblical studies or selection of a topic in the field of biblical studies for further research. Bible New Testament (BNT) Biblical Studies Division BNT 5053 Colossians and Philippians This course is designed to aid students in developing a personal method of Bible study. The primary steps in exegesis will be presented by using as an example a study of the Epistle to the Colossians. Students will practice applying these same principles of exegetical methodology to the Epistle to the Philippians, analyzing Philippians from seven perspectives: semantics, syntax, immediate context, book context, theological (Bible) context, cultural/historical context, and literary context. After completing this exegetical analysis, students will be given an opportunity to contextualize their findings into a commentary and sermon. Bible, New Testament.

BNT 5093 Letter to the Galatians Galatians is one of the most influential and difficult of Paul s letters. This course creates opportunities to delve into the social, cultural, and religious backgrounds that gave rise to the Galatian controversy, to understand the opponents gospel, and to hear anew the significance of Paul s response. The student will be enabled to search out ways in which this letter remains a word-on-target for the life and vision of twenty-first-century churches.

BNT 6043 Pneumatology in Lucan Literature Historically, the exegesis of Luke Acts has tended to neglect the study of Luke s particular pneumatology. When Luke s pneumatology has been treated, the tendency has been to interpret it through the categories of Pauline theology. This course seeks to analyze the pneumatology of Luke strictly in terms of Luke s own theological agenda and approach as these are revealed in Luke Acts. The larger hermeneutical and theological consequences of this theme are explored in depth with a view to demonstrating the essentially Lucan character of modern Pentecostal pneumatology.

It explores the influences of culture on theology, the function of the Bible in contemporary theologies, the role of theology in the hermeneutical task, and the significance of these factors for doing theology in the student s own cultural context. Current international trends in theology are surveyed from an evangelical perspective. These include such contextualized theologies as Latin American liberation theology, black theology (a reference to the theological perspectives of blacks in both Africa and North America), green (environmental) theology, and feminist theology, as well as informal theologies such as the positive confession and prosperity gospel.
