Grace School of Theology and Ministry currently operates on a quarter system, with a minimum of 12 class sessions per academic quarter. Most of the classes offered by Grace School are 4-unit classes. This means that the student can expect to spend one hour in class for each unit of credit, or a total of 36 classroom hours for a 4-unit class. Additionally, the classes are structured so that an average student can expect two hours of outside study ("homework") for each hour of classroom time. Classes which offer a higher number of credits will expect the student to produce a correspondingly greater amount of work in the course.


An average student, therefore, is expected to budget four hours per week for each unit of credit attempted. A "full-time" student is one who is enrolled in nine or more units in any academic quarter. While it is possible to complete the entire degree program in only two calendar years (not including the required 90 units of General Education which must be taken at another institution), only the exceptional student should plan to do so without attending summer sessions.


In addition to the classes described below, appropriate electives will be provided based on student needs and instructor availability.
