The Highest Level of Hands-On Broadcast Ministry Training We Offer
Tuition: $14,500
Enrollment Limited to 10 Students Per Year
The Doctor of Christian Radio and Television Evangelism is the most rigorous and comprehensive degree offered by the college. This is a working doctorate, built for individuals who are genuinely called by God to proclaim the Gospel through radio and television and who are willing to prepare for that calling with seriousness, discipline, and humility.
This is not a theory-only doctorate.
This is not an academic research exercise.
This program exists to train ministers who are ready to operate real, paid broadcast ministries and who understand that staying on the air requires preparation, accountability, and personal financial stewardship.
Enrollment is highly selective. Each year, no more than 10 candidates are accepted due to the depth of mentorship, hands-on evaluation, and individualized oversight required. This degree is offered only to those who demonstrate calling, maturity, teachability, and readiness for public ministry responsibility.
This program is for those who understand the cost and still feel called.
A Required Understanding Before Requesting Consideration
Every doctoral candidate must understand this reality clearly and without exception:
Radio and television evangelism is expensive.
Airtime is purchased, not provided.
Production is expensive.
Editing is expensive.
Every program must pay for itself, or it will not remain on the air.
The college does not fund, subsidize, reimburse, or guarantee:
• Airtime
• Radio or television placement
• Filming or editing
• Equipment, travel, promotion, or production expenses
• Audience size, donations, or ministry success
All content responsibility belongs entirely to the student.
The college provides guidance, instruction, mentorship, evaluation, and academic oversight only.
This program does not exist to place people on television.
It exists to prepare people to stay there responsibly.
Purpose and Calling of the Doctoral Program
The doctoral program is designed to prepare ministers who can sustain a broadcast ministry over time, not merely produce a single program or appearance.

• Biblical fidelity
• Ethical clarity

• Public accountability
This program exists for those who sense a genuine call from God and are willing to submit that calling to preparation, discipline, and mentorship.
