Flexible Online Options for Finishing Your Degree
Do you want to earn a college degree without disrupting your life? Do you regret your lack of a college degree? Are you ready to finish the college degree that you started months or even years ago?
Maybe you could not afford college, or you were not interested in college back then. Perhaps you married right after high school and the hustle and bustle of life took over. Fortunately, there are flexible online options for adults like you who are seeking a college degree, and the solution is closer than you may think.
Online with MBU
Maranatha Baptist University offers a broad variety of online classes and degrees. Online classes are flexible and can be taken at the pace needed by the student. The Online and Distance Learning program also welcomes transfer credits, though some limitations apply. Online education is eligible for financial aid, and the flexibility of classes allows a person to work part- or full-time as well as stay involved in church ministry.
Consider the following stories of some adult students who have graduated from Maranatha’s Online and Distance program.
“This was my dream”
Emily Long attended Maranatha both on campus and online. Her original desire was to achieve a bachelor’s degree, but because of finances and other circumstances, she had to change her degree to an associate’s.
After leaving Maranatha, she never lost her desire to get a bachelor’s degree. She realized that Maranatha’s online program was exactly what could help her fulfill her dream.
“It was the perfect solution,” Long said. “I was able to obtain student aid, complete the work from home, and take classes on my own timeline.” By balancing her work and classes, Emily reached her goal.
“I could still minister”
Jimmy Ross desired to stay involved in his local church, so it was only natural for him to look for a college experience that fit his needs.
Ross took online classes with Maranatha to earn a bachelor’s degree in Bible. 
He found that taking online classes made it possible for him to fulfill his roles as father, husband, church member, and student. He also valued the principles he learned from his professors that helped him show care, compassion, love, and kindness to individuals every day.
Ross is now working on his master’s degree through Maranatha and hopes to graduate in May.
“I needed an accredited degree”
Randy Posey knew he needed a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college to get hired at his local police department, but he also knew he wanted a degree from a Christian college.
Posey was 45 years old, with a family, and was involved in his local church. He believed his best option was to pursue an online degree. 
When he heard about Maranatha’s program, he knew it was for him.
Posey’s previous college credits were accepted via transfer by Maranatha, and he was able to earn a bachelor’s degree by taking an additional 30 credits. Randy appreciated the academic challenge of his classes, sharing that they were “rigorous but achievable.”
Randy was hired by his local police department and is currently halfway through the police academy.
