ACADEMICS

IAI is in the process of a curriculum revision master plan forecasted to be completed by 2026.
Because of this, we are currently offering only the Associate of Theology degree program along with two certificate programs. Associate programs in each major are on track to be released by the Spring of 2025. Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate programs will be released as they are available.  

THEOLOGY

This program focuses on helping students develop a systematic theology and represents a thorough overview of the Bible, biblical themes, history, hermeneutics, etc. Each course earns credits which can be applied to either an Associate of Theology degree or a certificate program.  

BIBLE

This program focuses on helping students understand Bible doctrines, biblical themes and history, and Christian doctrine without substantially exploring advanced theological topics. Each course earns credits which can be applied to either an Associate of Bible degree or a certificate program.

The International Apostolic Institute offers a series of certificate programs which allow you to earn credits toward a degree before formally enrolling as a degree program student.

Dr. Marvin (1).png

The impetus for the development of the International Apostolic Institute in 1999 - then known as Biblical Apostolic University - came from the late Dr. Marvin M. Arnold (1921-2001). A pioneer in the field of Church History, Dr. Arnold blazed the trail for future generations to see clearly the historicity of the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine which never ceased to be preached since the Day of Pentecost. 

​

Established in 2024 the Dr. Marvin M. Arnold Memorial Scholarship is awarded to two applicants per year covering matriculation and diploma fees and up to 25% of course tuitions for a degree path.
