GREAT COMMISSION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF AMERICA
CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
Four distinct academic tracks — Theology, Christian Counseling, Religious Education, and Seminary — each built exclusively on the inerrant, perfect Word of God and designed for home study.
A COMPLETE ACADEMIC LADDER
FROM FOUNDATION TO DOCTORATE
Great Commission Theological Seminary of America offers a complete, systematic course of study from entry-level foundation courses through the Doctor of Philosophy. Every program is built around the King James Bible — not as a reference, but as the foundation and final authority of all instruction.
Whether you are beginning your theological studies for the first time or pursuing an advanced degree to deepen your ministry credentials, GCTSA has a structured, affordable program designed for your calling.

The heart of GCTSA’s academic program. A sequential, year-by-year curriculum that takes students from foundational Bible study all the way through doctoral-level systematic theology — built entirely on GCTSA.
Designed for Christians called to counsel from the Scriptures or serve in Christian education. These programs equip students for school ministry, church counseling, and educational leadership roles.
GCTSA’s most advanced program. The Master of Divinity is a three-year, 96-credit-hour seminary degree requiring a secular Bachelor’s degree for admission. Ideal for pastors and serious ministry leaders pursuing the highest level of formal theological training.
Our curriculum is carefully structured so that each course and each year builds upon the last — no repetition, no wasted effort.
We personally review your educational background, ministry experience, and goals to recommend the right program and entry point for you.
Upon enrollment, your course materials — workbooks and required reading — are mailed directly to you. No campus visit required.
Work through each course on your own schedule. All homework and payment must be completed within 24 months per year of study.
Complete coursework is submitted, graded, and recorded. Upon finishing each year’s requirements, you advance to the next level toward your degree.
Upon completing all required coursework and fulfilling financial obligations, your official GCTSA degree is awarded and mailed to you.
What You Need to Know Before Enrolling
Important policies and guidelines that apply across all GCTSA curriculum programs.
GCTSA honors transfer credits from qualified Bible colleges and seminaries. Students with prior theological education may receive credit toward their chosen degree program, potentially reducing the total course of study required.
Life Experience credit is available for full-time Christian workers — pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and others in active ministry service. This credit is evaluated individually during the free personal evaluation process.
Each GCTSA course includes a specially designed instruction workbook and required reading material. All instruction material is carefully curated by GCITS leadership and theologically oriented, built around the King James Version of the Bible.
There is no course repetition between degree levels. Every course completed at one degree level counts toward higher degrees in the same track — students build continuously without redundancy.
All adult, born-again believers are welcome to enroll at Great Commission Theological Seminary of America College regardless of denominational affiliation. GCTSA is an interdenominational institution that serves conservative, fundamental Christians across a wide range of ministry backgrounds.
Until the completion of all required degree work, students agree not to claim they hold a degree from Great Commission Theological Seminary of America, and may not use any GCTSA degree title until all outstanding balances are paid in full and the degree has been officially awarded by the college.
GCTSA degrees are officially conferred and mailed upon completion of all coursework and financial requirements. Financial commitment is structured on a per-year basis — students are only obligated for each individual enrollment year.
