View Full Version : Tripp Bible Institute
The Tripp Bible Institute awards certificates, diplomas and various degrees at all levels in bible studies and theology. Unaccredited, nondenominational. I have seen this school mentioned before on other forums and it had some positive feedback about it but I realy don't know anything about the school itself. From what I have read it seems like a great opportunity. Comments?

Any school that would charge nearly $100 for a transcript raises eyebrows. I hardly if ever call a school a "degree mill." I won't call this one, but I think it is.
I think I read sometime back, Dennis saying that this is one of the school's he was/is studying with. His name is listed as a graduate of the Bachelor of Sacred Literature Degree.

Maybe Dennis can tell us how rigorous the program was and if he enjoyed it.

I believe that the Tripp Bible Institute is a serious effort. That said, it is not as difficult as one would expect from a degree program. I am not exactly sure but when I calculated early on, the program should have involved about 900 pages of worksheets, mostly true and false. I am sure it came close to that.
The Bachelor of Sacred Literature that I completed was what I would call more of a Bible study course than an academic program. If you want to learn a bit about the Bible and get a degree while doing it, not a bad program. If you need a program that is part of a progression toward an academic or ministerial career, it is not a good choice.
I would hesitate calling it a degree mill because I have seen too many religious schools that require a 6 page thesis or something similar.
The prices quoted on the website are higher than I actually ended up paying as it ended up being by way of donation.
I like NationsUniversity's free program way better. It requires work, mostly reading, tougher than some accredited programs I have been in. Because of its unaccredited nature, recognition may also be a problem.

I just started my studies at Tripp, I do believe that the school is an honest effort. Will the education you receive from them be accepted for employment or at other schools. Well I do not know. For me the guided Bible Studies are very motivating and enjoyable. They are a great way to increase your knowledge of the Bible and get a degree while doing it. The school staff have been very supportive also.
Hi Gunner,
Good I am pleased you are happy studying at Tripp Bible Institute. Jimmy Clifton is a permanent student why would anyone want all those Master degrees, Jimmy is a perpetual student.

Since N O N E Of Those Schools Have U.s. Accreditation Any Way Then Why Spend So Much Money? When At Nations You Can Even Study Greek-hebrew Scriptures Online Instead Of By Mail And Obtain A Degree For Only $100.00 Per Year. Please Log On Their Website And See A Preview At: Nationsu.org
I Hate To See Someone Spend Over $2,000.00 For A Degree That Won't Open Any More Doors And The Studies Are No More In-depth Than At Nations.

I know that it is based on an individuals prior background but the total the Advanced diploma,bachelors in theology,Master of Theology and the Theology Doctorate will be less than $1600. I know it is more expensive than nations and is UA. But the after completing a couple of their lessons I felt that this is the school for me. I am not planning on using the education for any secular employment so their status is not important to me. I can attest that the lessons are well written and I find them enjoyable and they cause deep reflection on my prior religious upbringing (Catholic). What else could you want out of a Theology Program.

The class on Matthew (BS310a) requires the reading of the book of Matthew plus 22 lectures.
The assignment is a 1,000 word summary of the materials. This is simply to show that the student did absorb what was taught. In a sense it is like testing out of a class...just with extra reading/lectures.

I just want to add that I scanned several Distant learning bible related course and Tripp Bible Institute favoured the best in terms of customer relations and cost. I am presently studying through Tripp. My only complaint is that it sometimes takes up to 4 weeks for marking and new study material after you have sent your work in for grading. It is too bad that they did not offer on-line study, however, the operational cost would be passed onto the student.
I am taking B. of Bible Studies. The course flows very well and certainly requires thought on the scripture questions.
Unless there is something better, I recommend Tripp Bible Institute.

Glad you are enjoying the program and it is meeting your needs.
Some observations for potential consumers:
a) The accreditation page states, “The majority of bible colleges, bile institutes, preacher schools and theological seminaries do not accept or seek government endorsement (accreditation) at any level in order to maintain their strict separation of church and state.”
I suspect that this is quite inaccurate. The vast majority of legitimate seminaries (with a very few exceptions) are indeed accredited by ATS, Regional Accreditors, TRACS, or even DETC. Many of those will NOT accept unaccredited degrees. Some do on a case by case basis.
By choosing to pursue an unaccredited degree many seminaries will not recognize the degree and denominations may or may not. Anyone choosing an unaccredited path should find out whether a degree from the school will do what you wish. TNARS site for example lists schools that have accepted their credits and recognized denominations (PCA & OPC) that accept their graduates for ordination. Please understand that I am not endorsing TNARS only using it as an example.
b) In the sentence above from the TRIPP site (and I am not sure I want to know), please explain what a bile institute is in terms of education? Does Tripp issue lab coats and gloves?
c) They offer a Chaplaincy program and mention ministering to soldiers and in hospitals. What they do not mention is that their program will be next to useless in securing a position as a military chaplain due to Dept of Defence and VA requirements (which Tripp does not meet). Also, many hospital programs require accredited degrees and recognized CPE, etc. Again to the consumer you need to ask questions and verify utility.
d) On the chaplaincy page they mention ministering to the in-firmed. Are those people who are working within recognized firms versus those that have been out-firmed (out sourced)?
The marketing is rather hilarious, “ An Opportunity Such As This May Never Come Your Way Again”. This smacks of "hurry...hurry...step right up".

Accreditation is best but an unaccredited degree can be very useful in the field of ministry. Some churches have no particular education requirement while the more established churches typically require a Master of Divinity. There are thousands of ministers with insignificant post-secondary education so an unaccredited degree can be very useful.
There are some ads showing up on degreeboard from the usual suspects but I'm sure it just helps Robert recover costs and maybe buy a coffee in the morning. Tough times in LA?
If you mean that the posts are starting to look like ads, that's the way it always is. People brag up the schools like like. I'm sure something too persistently spammish would be removed.

When I read Pax's post, I thought he was quoting from the site when he said "bile." I don't know if that was intentional or not. :lol:
I'm considering one of the doctorates at Mount Carmel IBS or Tripp. Can't decide between the two. MCIBS would be cheaper. Both are unaccredited. One poster mentioned that it can take up to four weeks to receive new lessons from Tripp. :o Both are in my price range right now. I want to go to Bethany but, at the time, cannot do so.
Tripp's pros is that the faculty responds quickly. Its cons is that it is pricier than MCISB and having to work via snail-mail.
MCISB is closer to my theology and is cheaper. It's only con, however, is that it takes a while for them to respond.
When I read Pax's post, I thought he was quoting from the site when he said "bile." I don't know if that was intentional or not. :lol:
Actually, I was quoting the Tripp site. They said they have a "bile institute" (I guess they mail you the bile by Fed Ex) and claim to train you to minister to the in-firmed.
I have other concerns with their site:
a) what could be considered misleading claims about accreditation and seminaries
b) claims to prepare you to minister in settings that a Tripp diploma would not qualify you to minister in.
Someone noted that MCIBS will give you a second BA for one class. FYI...that is a problematic practice as well.
I am hoping you manage to locate some better options. Good luck.

TNARS is far from my theology, also; but learning an opposing system can serve to strengthen your theology. It causes you to carefully examine what you believe and why. I have already asked them, and I am certain that they will allow you to take non-Calvinistic positions, explore them, expound on them, and defend them. Trinity is reformed, also. I have asked, and they have said the same thing as TNARS about opposing views. Take a course and see what you think. It may be right up your alley. Take care of yourself.

Yes, it is a difficult decision as to whether or not one should start at a college/university that is not inline with one's own views. I went to one that was definitely a lot more liberal than my fundamentalist theology, many students mocked the fundamentalist position. I believe there were only about ten out of 160 who agreed with my view.
Those insitutions have a different way of teaching. I haven't changed my beliefs but I have a different approach from the normal fundamentalist.
The downside is that I don't quite fit in with the fundamentalist ways anymore although my doctrines do. I've been considering studying at a good accredited doctoral level but this time with a fundamentalist insitution.

Tripp does not offer secular studies that why they are not accredited with Agency of (DOE) Department of education.Tripp is a good school for Pastor's,Evangelist,Bible Teachers,Missionaries. Those called into ministry and desire to work in the Ministry.I'm to start studing with them shortly. I've been through Seminary and have a Master's in Theology and Hope to get my Doctorate in Biblical Counseling through Tripp. I've checked them out and they are legal and righteous to train others to live and teach according to scriptures. That pertains to life and godliness 2Peter 1:3. The WORD is there priority and thats what I love of them.:D PRAISE GOD! MAY GOD BLESS THEM,and grant them FAVOR with God and man.

Many of you seem to be too committed to "your" version of theology while you think that the others are in error.
This attitude, I strongly feel, has resulted in the young generation from Christian families to reject the Christian faith.
Classic dispensationalists say progressives are wrong, who say reformed are wrong, who say classic dispensationalists are wrong. We have done a very very good job of dividing theology and we are doing well in showing out pettiness by condemning all other (evangelical or conservative) schools of thought than out own.
Not only is this a sort of pettiness, this also shows a lack of understanding about the background which caused some of these (non existent) divisions to come up.

If Arminians are right, then Calvanists are wrong, and vice versa. There is no problem with that. Believing you are right and other people are wrong is simply part of life in general. There is not a problem with that, either. The problem is getting puffed up in pride, being rude and snobby, and failing to take time to carefully examine what you and others believe.
I believe hundreds of things, and I believe I can substantiate my beliefs using the Scriptures and Bible-based logic. At the same time, I continue to study my system and other systems, and I attempt to remain very open, honest, and humble concerning the knowledge of the truth.
I am not sure if I understand your question due to the language barrier, but which divisions would you say are non-existent?

There certainly is some kind of limit in the kinds of theology that should be accepted. Nevertheless, acceptance of a person's entitlement to believe a differrent theology is a different matter. The Bible teaches us to love others, therefore dialogue can remain open with those who disaagree with our version. I have determined to be a non-impositional fundamentalist.
The thing that assists in accepting the views of others is realising that it took the church hundreds of years to discover that the Book of Revelations should be part of the New Testament. If something of such great importance can take such a long time to be accepted, who are we to insist that someone else change from the error of their theology in minutes or even on the basis of our correct views.
I, as a premillennielist, went to an amillennielist bible college. I stated to the lecturer who chose to mock my views the following:
a) In order for the antichrist to take root the whole of the Christian world would need to be unprepared because if we all believed the premillenniel view, there would be too many people preventing the antichrist from taking hold of power.
b) Premillenielists have been privileged in being able to see the unfolding of the ages.
c) the worst enemy of the premilleniel theology is the premillenielist who makes thoughtless predictions.
Therefore, when picking the institute at which you are going to study you don't need to agree with the theology in everyway. In fact, when going to a "disagreeable" institution you will be challenged to think through your own theology.

Why dont we that are true born again belivers in the Lord Jesus Christ just stick to the word of God and live by Christ example and not argue because all it does is gender up strife between the schools of thought. Let God be the one that teaches us what to believe according to the truth of His word,and do the work Christ commanded and that is to preach the Gospel and win souls to him. For those that preach the gospel must also live the gosple according to the teachings of the word of God. It's not our job to judge,criticize,argue or condem,anyone,thats the work of the Holy Spirit, we are commanded to love one another and if anyone be overtaken in a fault ye which are spiritual restore him in the spirit of meekness lest ye be tempted.That means lest ye fall into the same temptations.My bible teaches that LOVE covers a multitude of sin.We all grow in the knowlege which is an act of grace and God knows how to teach us truth if we truely desire to know it for He promised that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth and that no MAN would have to teach us. Cause I have come to the conclusion that man will mislead you and fault you just cause to dont agree with him but we all have to be accountable to the word of God and are accountable for what it teaches us and it all is a process day by day as we seek after the things of God,For God know us individually and know where each one of us is in our walk of faith and knowlege of Him.He knows exactly what we need to know and learn.My bible teaches that 'who is wise among you,and endued with knowlege,let him shew out of agood conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.But if you have bitter envey and strife in your heart ,glory not,and lie not against the truth.This kind of words thats of envy,strife,and wanting to cause disunity is not of God.That kind of wisdom is earthly,senual,and devilish.Cause where there is envy and strife and confusion,its of evil work.Satan loves to cause disruption and break unity among the brethen.But Gods wisdom is first pure,peaceable and gentle,easy to be intreated,full of mercy and good fruit without partiality and hypocrisy,and the fruit of RIGHTEOUSNESS is sown in PEACE and them that make peace. Be Real stick to the truth and buy the truth and sell it not as it saids in the Proverbs and Psalms. I'll be praying for all y'all okay. I love you all in the Lord Jesus Christ. Stay Humble and have a good day my friends.

There are distance ed forums where spellchecking is a way of life and the biggest wheels are the best spellcheckers. Perhaps some people would be more comfortable there.
