Dr. C. I. Scofield
(1843-1921) was a Bible student and author. He was born in Lenawee
County, Missouri and raised in Wilson County, Tennessee. Scofield
fought in the Civil War and was awarded the Confederate Cross of Honor
in 1864. After the war he became an attorney and served as a Kansas
legislator. At 36 years old he was converted to Jesus Christ as His
Lord and Savior. In 1882 he was ordained as a minister of the gospel of
Jesus Christ and served as Pastor at First Church in Dallas TX
1882-1895, and again at the Moody Church in Northfield Mass from
1902-1907. In his later years, he lectured in Bible institutes and
colleges on both sides of the Atlantic. He is especially known for his
extensive work in pre-millennial dispensational theology as seen in his
stalwart work of his notes in the Scofield Reference Bible (Today the
Scofield Study Bible).

How it Works
Before Class Begins
A. Prospective student makes application for admission and forwards the application with the $50.00 application fee to the registrar.
The application can be downloaded from here: Application for Distance Learning
B. Upon approval of application, the student will receive an approval letter and a catalog. Within the catalog, there will be a registration form where the student picks his/her respective course or courses
C. Once the student picks the course/courses, he/she mails the registration along with the tuition. The course material will be mailed to the student which includes the course syllabus and the course lecture (CD/s) for the course. (Required text books are to be purchased separately by the student.) The required text book will be named in the syllabus including ISBN and product number for order from Christianbook.com.
Taking The Class
Once the student receives the course syllabus, required text book, and lecture CD/s, the student, at his/her own pace will listen to the professor's course lecture on CD just as he/she were sitting in class live. It is of critical importance that the student maintains a note book to take notes during the course as well as have these as permanent notes for the subject and course at hand. The Syllabus will spell out all the requirements to study and complete the course. The syllabus will give direction to the student on completing a paper for each course studied.
The paper will be turned in within the required time period allowed for the course. (Varies on course) This paper/s must be mailed directly to the Scofield Institute for grading.
Some of the courses require that a student complete a thesis and or a short exam.
This course can be taken with an approved distance learning proctor that will administer the quiz. The paper, quiz and exam, if applicable, will constitute the final grade for the course. Once all course requirements and assignments are completed with a passing grade and all tuition is paid, a certificate of completion will be awarded to the student.
Once all courses are complete for a program and all tuition is paid the diploma and or degree will be sent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ask questions of the teacher?
During the course, the student can ask questions as they would by sitting in a live class by emailing the professor or instructor. The instructor will respond via the same. These questions, however, must pertain ONLY to the course that the student is currently taking.
