Certificate Programs

A focused, faster entry point into formal Bible college training — each Certificate is a single subject area, completable on its own, and also counts toward Sozo's full Associate, Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degree ladder as that ladder is completed.

Course tuition: $50 USD or $70 CAD per course
Standard tuition is $50 USD or $70 CAD per course. The Canadian option is intentionally rounded down, so there is no penalty for paying in Canadian funds. Reduced tuition, sponsorships, bursaries, scholarships or hardship assistance may be available in approved circumstances.

The standard tuition for Sozo Bible College is $50 USD or $70 CAD per course. Students may pay the approved USD price or the approved CAD price. These are fixed college prices rather than a daily exchange-rate conversion. The Canadian price is intentionally rounded down, so there is no penalty for paying in Canadian funds.

We believe financial hardship should not automatically prevent a sincere and committed student from receiving biblical education. Students living in developing nations, low-income communities, or difficult personal circumstances may ask the college to consider reduced tuition or financial assistance.

Assistance may include reduced tuition, partial or full sponsorship, bursaries, scholarships, or a special hardship arrangement. Each request is reviewed individually. We consider the student's circumstances, location, financial need, ministry calling, educational goals, ability to contribute, and commitment to completing the course.

Financial assistance is not automatic and is not granted without accountability. Students receiving assistance are expected to participate faithfully, complete their coursework, communicate with the college, and follow the conditions of the assistance provided. Assistance may be reviewed, adjusted, renewed, or discontinued according to the student's participation, progress, circumstances, and available resources.

All assistance requires individual review, approval, and appropriate accountability.

How Certificates Build Toward a Full Degree

Every Certificate you complete becomes part of your permanent academic record at Sozo. As you complete more Certificates, they combine toward an Associate degree, and ultimately the full ladder: Associate → Bachelor's → Master's → Doctorate. You never have to restart — every hour of study you've already done counts.
