This enables the College to legally share its ministry with local churches. The College will accept a certificate of completion for courses taken at approved Schools of Ministry. Such courses may then be accepted by the College for credit.
Individual Student Correspondence (“ICS”) Online Studies:

This online program is unique in that the student has two option concerning their academic schedule. Option 1 – CBCS can lay out their academic schedule for them. Option 2 – The student can lay out their own academic schedule from a select group of courses online to earn their degree.
Students taking online courses are not bound to a semester schedule, they work at their own pace. Prospective students interested in taking courses online can view a list of the available courses by visiting www.CBCSOnline.org. Directly at the Web site, students can follow the directions regarding enrollment, availability of courses, etc.
The College also acknowledges that certain students and prospective students prefer to study in the traditional method of external studies, in which course materials are mailed to them and continues to offer this method of instruction.
Students pursuing a degree in ministry or pastoral counseling through Chesapeake Bible College & Seminary will have the unique opportunity to participate in a for-credit internship at Wholeness to Freedom Academy, an official Distance Learning Center of CBCS. This hands-on experience allows students to apply their coursework in a real-world ministry setting, gaining practical skills in teaching, discipleship, and community outreach. Interns will work alongside experienced ministry leaders, receive mentorship, and develop the tools needed to lead with confidence and serve with compassion, preparing them for impactful, Christ-centered service.
