Hi there,

What degree are you interested in?

If you already have a bachelor's degree or equivalent, you can earn a master's degree, otherwise you can start with a bachelor's first. Another option is earning a certificate or diploma; the cost is often much lower and requirements not as demanding, but won't help you earn other degrees later if that's your intent.

A good general site to find online/distance Christian schools is:
http://www.bakersguide.com/
Though not all the schools they list are accredited and/or thought of as being reputable.

Keep in mind that if you're just getting a degree for personal interest (ie to learn) it doesn't matter whether the school is accredited or not. But if you're also getting it to help future employment or ministry opportunities, you'll want a school that's either regionally accredited or accredited by one of the three North American Christian accreditors: ATS, ABHE, or TRACS. (If the school is outside North America, it becomes more complicated to know whether it's accredited or not.) Just because a school claims it's accredited it may not really be; there's plenty of illegitimate "accrediting institutions")

Hope that's all not too much info If you have other specific q'ns I'd be happy to try to help!

Born Sinner: My girlfriend and her father both study through Liberty University. That was the late Jerry Falwell's school. They have some well published and respected people teaching there: Ergun Caner, Elmer Towns, etc. You can check out the videos of some of their sermons on their website, too. www.liberty.edu.
