Program details
Overview
The Associate Diploma of Biblical Studies is a two-year, 60-credit post-secondary diploma at Eston College, delivered on campus in Regina, Saskatchewan, and built on the college's one-year foundational certificate. The second year of study adds courses in the Life of Christ, Christian theology, leadership, and philosophy and ministry practice, along with electives, layered on top of the 30 credits completed in the foundational year. The program's stated focus is spiritual formation, character development, and foundational leadership skills alongside continued biblical study and communication training. Students must complete a minimum of 33 of the 60 required credits through Eston College. No thesis is described, and the practical component is built into the leadership and ministry-practice coursework rather than run as a separate practicum. The diploma suits students who want a complete two-year credential focused on developing foundational personal and small-group leadership skills for use in church or marketplace settings, whether as a standalone qualification or as a deliberate stage on the way to Eston's three-year or four-year Bachelor of Arts programs, into which the diploma's credits carry forward.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This diploma continues the Biblical Studies pathway toward the eventual four-year Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies, so entry follows Eston College's general admission conditions: a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a sincere desire to study the Bible and be involved in Christian ministry, a high school diploma or equivalent (or mature-student, home-educated, or special-privilege admission), and agreement to the college's Catalogue and Student Handbook. To progress from the first-year certificate into this diploma year, the program page requires completion of the first year's courses with an average passing grade of 60% or higher. Neither the program page nor the general admissions page states an English-language test requirement for this diploma.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Eston College publishes no fixed application deadline for domestic or international applicants: its admissions page states only that 'applications for the 2026-27 school year are open' and directs prospective students to apply online through its Populi portal, with timing questions referred to [email protected]. The site does not distinguish domestic from international applicants, gives no priority or equal-consideration date, and does not spell out separate intake periods beyond the single academic year. On the evidence published, admission runs on a rolling, ongoing basis rather than against a fixed cutoff. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
