Requirements for a Degree

TGCM Bible College is not a Diploma Mill. We do not sell faith-based degrees. Students enrolling in our programs are expected to complete the required coursework for their degree program and to meet all of the academic requirements for graduation.

Graduation Policy

As stated above, TGCM Bible College requires completion of all academic requirements prior to issuing a degree.

The college will not graduate any student who fails to meet the academic requirements set for each degree program.

Students are considered candidates for graduation once all course hours are met. A formal letter is sent to the student, then a few weeks later, their degree diploma and a set of official transcripts.

Graduation Ceremony

Since TGCM Bible College is a 100% online college, it does not maintain a traditional campus such as those who require residency and on campus attendance. Students who graduate receive their degrees at their home.

However, if enough students graduate and express their wish to have a formal graduation ceremony, one would be held in Woodbury Minnesota at Central Park location.

Students must purchase tickets in advance for each person who will attend the event. Dinner is provided before the graduation ceremony. Graduating students will be asked to make a brief speech. The program concludes with the issuing of ceremony degrees.

Caps & gowns are provided by the college for use at the ceremony.

Christian Service

TGCM Bible College is requires each student to complete a Christian Service component each semester
as part of their degree program.
