The Classical Liberal Arts Academy’s Bachelor Degree in Classical Christian Studies is a study program that develops and recognizes knowledge of the classical Catholic curriculum. This is an unaccredited degree, not intended for the pursuit of secular employment or professional licensure, but for use within the Catholic community as a mark of achievement in real classical studies.
This degree program is intended for Catholic students who desire to study the classical Catholic curriculum privately for their own Catholic works, which include evangelization, speaking and writing, homeschooling, tutoring, leading homeschool co-ops, organizing private schools, teaching in private schools, etc.
Admission Requirements
The Academy’s BCCS program is open to all adult students (ages 18+) able to complete the work. Students may enroll with standard enrollment and upgrade to Academy or Tutorial levels if more support is desired.
Important: This degree is offered after a great amount of academic work has been completed. We receive contacts from students who want to talk about the degree, who haven’t completed a single lesson in any Academy courses. If your concern is the degree but not the studies, you are not the kind of student this degree is intended for.
