The Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Leadership at Huntsville Bible College will follow the pattern of other accredited institutions of higher learning cohort programs. Doctoral students will be admitted individually. However, students will be admitted to a cohort (as a group/a community of learners/peer-classmates) who will sequentially begin and continue together through the degree program to graduation. As a result of this dynamic, interactive, and sequential degree program, doctoral students will enhance their knowledge and skill base, cultivate lifelong relationships, and serve as an encouragement to each other throughout the student-peer relational process. If a student fails a core or required course, that student will have to take a leave and then return the following cohort year connected with another student-peer group. As a result of scheduled course offerings, a student will not be able to accelerate their coursework, which is designed for earlier completion of the doctoral degree program.
