What makes your Satellite Class so unique from other satellite classes?

Students benefit in two ways:

First from Professor Butler, with her long-standing experience as a co-pastor and administrator in legal, corporate and church industries. She provides students with theological instruction and administrative techniques, including organization and writing skills. The latter is especially important for the student who has been out of school for years.
Second from Instructor Bishop Elect Butler, with his long-standing experience as a senior pastor, mentor and spiritual leader. He provides students with instruction from a pastoral and spiritual perspective providing leadership, accountability and mentorship opportunities.

FINANCIAL QUESTIONS

Do you have any scholarships?

At this time, our scholarship fund is depleted. However, the Tuition Payment Plan is structured such that it is convenient to anyone’s budget. A 20% discount is offered on most programs for paying in full. There is also a 50% spouse discount when both the husband and wife enroll together. Overall, you will find that the cost is much less than what state universities charge, and only a fraction of what private colleges charge. Please contact Professor Butler for a copy of the current “Tuition Payment Plan.”

Does the tuition include the cost of books?

No. The tuition listed for each training program covers only the tuition cost; however, the training programs have been designed in such a way as to minimize the high cost of books. The first three years of the undergraduate program are completed primarily with lecture material that is included in the tuition cost. There are some outside reading requirements, but the total book cost for any of those ministry training programs is usually under $100 for the year. Students are provided with a suggested list of books to choose from that are relevant to ministry today. Many of our students use local libraries (public and private) and are able to complete their studies without buying any books at all. Others are striving to develop their own personal libraries and will spend more on books, resources and bible software programs than they do on tuition.
