Choose a Plan…

There are four different study options for each course.

Students choose whatever option, whatever tier, best meets their learning goals.
All of our courses, regardless of Tier, are 100% online.

Tier 1 courses have an instructor that personally oversees the course.
He grades written assignments, posts weekly notifications to inform, direct, and motivate.
He interacts with students to help them succeed in the course.

Tier 1 courses follow a 16-week semester.
Tier 1 courses enable student-to-student interaction with Discussion Board Assignments.
Students are from all over the world; this interaction enriches learning and fosters unity, community, and fellowship.

“Asynchronous” means that the courses do not have set log-in times, or live class meetings, or scheduled lectures in real time.
This allows students the freedom to listen to the lecture presentations, complete assignments, and exams anytime they want, as long as the work is done in 7 days.
This option balances a flexible schedule with a structure of deadlines.

Tier 1 courses have a broader variety of assignments, a great depth of assessment, increased interaction, and higher level of accountability.
Tier 1 courses are considered educationally “Enhanced” due to all the factors above.
Tier 1 student transcripts and the graduation diplomas will reflect completion of the ACB-MJS “Enhanced Education Program.”

We use the term “365 Open-Pace” for Tier 2 courses because students set their own pace when working through the course, as long as the course is completed in one year.
Tier 2 is a good choice for students who are very self-disciplined and prefer to work through course curriculum and lectures independently.
Tier 2 courses can be started any time but must be fully completed in 365 days from the date of purchase.

Tier 2 courses lectures are fully asynchronous, so the assignments and lecture video presentations can be completed any day or any time; there are no deadlines to worry about (except the course expiration date).
Tier 2 curriculum is almost the same as Tier 1 curriculum however written assignments are not turned-in. Assessment is based upon exam/quiz scores and academic integrity.
For equity, some Tier 2 exams have more questions than Tier 1 exams due to additional assignments given in Tier 1.

Students who complete Tier 2 courses with a passing grade are awarded 3 credits towards a degree from ACB-MJS.
Most of our students pursuing a degree from ACB-MJS have been taking our Tier 2 courses and have been very pleased with them.

Tier 3 courses are the same as Tier 2 courses but no ACB-MJS college credit is given for these courses.
Students have full access to all course content including: all lecture video presentations, all curriculum, all exams, all articles, and resources.
We do not maintain academic records for students taking non-credit courses.
Tier 3 courses have been our best selling online courses and are an excellent choice for many who want to study the Scriptures but are not seeking a degree.

Tier 4 courses grant access to view all of the course video lecture presentations.
These lecture presentations are the centerpieces of our courses because they are quite extensive, covering almost all of the content in the course textbooks.
Our course video lectures are professionally recorded in closed-studio settings with outstanding audio, visual resolutions, and on-screen graphics and text.
Course lectures are organized by Modules and most courses have 10-16 Modules with from 9 to 20 hours of total lecture content in a course.
Tier 4 courses expire one year from the date of purchase.
Video and audio lectures cannot be copied, downloaded, or posted online.
