Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Asia
Institute for Higher Studies?
We are a distance training center for Christians who desire a
biblical education but do not have the time or resources to attend a
college program.
2. What is the goal of the Institute?
We are dedicated to the purpose of training and educating persons
for Christian service. Jesus Christ is the center of all our
objectives. Our Mission Statement is:
We exist to educate,
equip. and validate those pursuing a deeper knowledge of God and
their relationship to Him. We accomplish these goals by providing
relevant biblical studies to those engaged in a journey toward
Christian maturity.
3. What kind of studies does the Institute offer?
We offer correspondence studies at the certificate level. Most of
our courses involve a study guide and a Bible with
some other basic resources -- such as a Bible Dictionary and Bible
Handbook.
4. How difficult are the courses and how much time is involved?
The basic procedure involves opening your Bible and finding the
answers to the written study questions. The questions are designed
to help you understand the intent of the biblical author. Some study
guides have True/False or Multiple Choice quizzes at the end of the
lesson, but most ask you to search the text to find the answer. The
Bible is our textbook. The studies are time-intensive and cannot be
completed quickly. The idea is not to just "get it over with" but to
allow the text to speak to you and equip you for ministry.
5. How does the process
work?
We will mail you
acknowledgement of your enrollment. Once you receive your materials
you can start working on the class of your choice. We advise you to
only work on one course at a time and to send it in as soon as it is
completed. It is best if you write your answers in a word processing
document and print out and send it to us. Keep a copy for your
files. Once you have earned 30 credits we will invite you take part
in our Graduation Ceremony where we will present you with
certificate. Those who are unable to come for the Graduation
Ceremony, we will send you a quality
certificate suitable for framing acknowledging the completion of
your work. We will keep track of all your progress in our office and
have a transcript of all your work.

doctrinal position of the Institute?

interdenominational.

About
Accreditation:
We
can not make any promises or guarantees, regarding admission to
other institution or transfer credits. Most universities makes
individual decisions regarding acceptance, based on your transcript
and the quality of your education.
Accreditation is used to assure quality in
schools or
educational institutions
and programs. It should be noted that accreditation is a voluntary,
non-governmental process of review and evaluation. These standards
change from state to state, country to country. These standards also
change with time. There are no two universities that have the same
structure, philosophies, teaching modalities or evaluation criteria. Even a graduate from
Edinburgh University, institution blessed by the queen of
England, is not guaranteed admission to an institution like the University of Chicago.
