Uganda Baptist Seminary meets the needs of theological education for over 250 students each year who are pastors and church leaders by offering three levels: Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor's programs of study. From its inception, UBS has followed rigorous academic curriculum offered during short residential periods. This is done in the context of authentic Baptist ministry. Certificate and Dipl
oma students come approximately 3 times a year, for 4 week terms. Students receive their Certificate or Diploma after 8 terms of study. This is a total of 32 weeks of study. Bachelor's students come approximately 3 times a year, for 4 week terms. Students receive their Bachelor's degree after 11 terms of study. This is a total of 44 weeks of study for Bachelor's students. To qualify, students must have the recommendation of their church and association; then they must remain active in an accountable ministry throughout their program of study. Nearly all the current students and graduates are serving as leaders of local Baptist churches, as teachers in Bible schools, as national missionaries, as associational leaders and as Baptist Union officers. UBS has recently reached over 1,000 total graduates since, the school's inception in 1988.
