Missionary Training at ABWE

Academic Credit Procedures for CEIM Training
Through Asia Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS)

In certain situations, students enrolled in the Asia Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS) can receive graduate credit for CEIM training programs.

Transfer Credits

Some of ABWE’s CEIM training can be accepted as transfer credits into ABTS upon receipt of an official document from ABWE. Transfer credit requests will be processed on a case by case basis, following the same processes and regulations as other transfer credits (note paragraph from our catalog below). There will be no charge for this service.

ABTS Catalog (Page 14)

Students who wish to transfer to ABTS should submit with their application for admission a transcript of all credits previously earned. Credit is given for comparable work taken in graduate programs in accredited colleges, universities, or seminaries. By approval of the Dean, credit may be given for a limited number of courses taken in graduate programs which are not offered in the seminary, but which correlate with education for the Christian ministry. In-Ministry MRE students may transfer 12 credit hours into their degree program. Master of Arts students may transfer 24 credit hours. For each degree, transfer students must achieve the specified minimum credit hours in ABTS residence seminars: 12 credit hours for MRE students and 21 credit hours for the MA. The remaining hours may be a combination of transfer and extension courses.

Checking with the ABTS Office

ABTS students are advised to check with the ABTS office to be sure that credit can be granted for a particular CEIM training program. Training topics must align appropriately with the ABTS student’s degree program.

Transfering Credits to Other Institutions

Since these are transfer credits, they won’t be accepted by other institutions on the basis of the ABTS transcript. Students who wish to transfer credits to another institution should utilize the service at Baptist Bible Seminary or Baptist Bible Graduate School.
