In keeping with its mission, Roanoke Bible College offers academic programs designed to educate men and women for career or volunteer work in Christian service. Some programs are designed to enable a graduate to enter a career in Christian service directly after graduation. Other programs are designed primarily for those who want to do volunteer work in Christian service. Some programs prepare students for further studies in graduate school or seminary.
Catalog Requirements
Students must graduate under the program requirements published in the catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment, if that enrollment is continuous. If a student withdraws for two or more consecutive semesters and then returns, the catalog requirements current at the time of his or her return will be in effect. The student may need to take additional coursework to meet these requirements.
Each student is responsible for the proper completion of his or her academic program. Thus, each student is responsible for knowing the academic policies of the College, for maintaining good academic standing, and for meeting all graduation requirements. The registrar and academic advisor will provide counsel, but the final responsibility rests with the student.
Overview of Programs
Roanoke Bible College offers the following degrees and certificates: (1) two baccalaureate degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.); (2) two associate degree programs: the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) and the Associate in Bible (A.B.); and (3) three certificate programs: the Biblical Studies Certificate, the Church Leadership Certificate for the Adult Learner and the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate. These programs are described in detail below.
Baccalaureate Degrees
One distinction of a Bible College is that all students completing a baccalaureate degree will complete two primary emphases beyond a general studies requirement: Bible and ministry. RBC considers the term “ministry” much broader than traditional service (i.e., preaching, though that is the primary focus at Roanoke). Because we affirm the priesthood of all believers our basic focus is upon leadership development for whichever ministry venue students find themselves, whether inside or outside the Church. Therefore each student completes a biblical studies component (30 or 49 hours) and chooses to major or minor in a ministry area. As students complete these requirements, students gain practical experience through curriculum-based service-learning.
Roanoke Bible College offers two baccalaureate degrees: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. These two degrees differ in that the Bachelor of Arts requires the completion of two years of study in a biblical language or in an approved modern language other than English. Each baccalaureate degree consists of three components, corresponding to the three academic divisions of the college: Bible and Theology, General Studies, Professional Studies.
Division of Biblical and Theological Studies
The purpose of the Biblical and Theological Studies Division is to provide the student with a general knowledge of the Old and New Testaments and biblical doctrine and to equip the student with the resources for more in-depth study and lifelong learning. The focus of these studies will be on content, interpretation, and application. The goal of these studies will be personal spiritual growth, preparation for leadership roles in church ministry, and effective evangelism both locally and globally.
The Biblical and Theological studies division has constructed two different courses of study. The course of study a student will follow is pre-determined by the area of study within professional studies.

Division of Professional Studies
Roanoke Bible College believes that the well-educated Christian servant must be proficient in some area of ministry. The Division of Professional Studies is sub-divided into eight areas of study.
Christian Education Nonprofit Leadership/Administration
Counseling Preaching Ministry
Cross-Cultural Ministry Worship & Music Ministry
Elementary Education Youth Ministry
Christian Education
Local churches are increasingly emphasizing small group ministry and programming for children, youth, adults, and senior adults. Volunteer service is helpful, but the complexity of the local church situation calls for men and women who will devote themselves to Christian education administration as a career.
The Christian Education program prepares students to provide Christian education leadership in a local congregation. Students completing this course of study may find positions in education ministries such as children's ministry or in combination ministries such as Christian education and youth ministry. The course of study may also provide entry-level preparation for those interested in pursuing graduate studies in Christian education. Students interested in this option should consult with their advisor and plan to meet the admissions criteria for the seminary or graduate school they plan to attend.

State Licensure Option: Secondary and Special Education
Advisor: Wendy S. Guthrie
Students may choose to pursue state licensure for teaching in public schools. The state licensure option allows qualified Roanoke students to dual-enroll at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) as transient students. Completing the licensure requirements enables students to have their names and records submitted to the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction in order to receive state licensure for teaching in public schools.
State licensure enables the graduate to teach in the State of North Carolina in 7-12 education. In addition, North Carolina has reciprocal teaching agreements with most other states, enabling graduates to teach in public schools outside of North Carolina.
Counseling
Christian counselors provide helping relationships for many individuals and families. The Counseling course of study is designed to prepare students to enter graduate studies following their Roanoke education in order to prepare for a career as a school counselor, mental health professional, marriage and family counselor, clinical psychologist, or other type of professional counselor or psychologist. Generally, a graduate degree is required in order to obtain state licensure. Students interested in graduate study should consult with their advisor and plan to meet the admissions criteria for the graduate school they plan to attend. Students may, however, choose not to pursue graduate study and licensure but to use the knowledge and skills they learn in some career or volunteer Christian service.

Worship & Music Ministry
God desires that his people worship Him. It is imperative that worship be more than a Sunday performance and more than music. The worship and music ministry course of study will teach students to go beyond planning services and leading music, to developing a 'culture of worship' in the congregation they serve.
Students will learn the tools and techniques to guide the church's worship in ways from the most traditional to tomorrow's cutting edge. They will develop the skills and sensitivity needed to direct teams of volunteers in worship leadership. They will also understand that they must model for the church how, no matter what happens on Sunday morning, true worship is found in the day-to-day living of a life surrendered to God.
