Sask. Bible college authorized to grant degrees
Saskatchewan students can now earn a degree at Bible College.
“We were privileged enough to be the first one to be trusted with this opportunity,” said Dwayne Uglem, president of Briercrest College and Seminary near Moose Jaw.
The province passed the Degree Authorization Act last fall, making colleges able to apply to have their programs approved.
The newly created Saskatchewan Higher Education Quality Assurance Board uses national standards to determine what characteristics are needed in a bachelor degree. The team examines areas like breadth of study and faculty qualifications.
