Independent Study

Independent Study was the first mode of distance education Moody Bible Institute provided, beginning in 1901. Independent Study courses allow students to take undergraduate courses on their own time and at their own pace. Courses are available for registration at any time and do not operate on the traditional semester format. Students have six months to work through the course material and successfully complete a course, and may choose to enroll in a single course or participate in several courses at one time.

Moody Distance Learning offers Independent Study undergraduate courses in Bible, theology, ministry, and general education for college credit.

You can take Independent Study courses to earn college credit and accelerate you towards a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies degree, an Associate of Biblical Studies degree, or a Certificate of Biblical Studies. Independent Study courses are also available to non-degree seeking students, visiting students from other universities and homeschool or high school juniors and seniors.

Independent Study Tuition Reduction

From November 1-30, 2009, the price of all print format Independent Study college credit courses will be reduced by 25 percent. Shipping and handling charges will apply.
