THE
ALBANY CONNECTION
Albany, Georgia Office
The Albany Divinity College Campus (originally known as Center) was established in
Albany, Georgia during the summer of 1988. Its first class consisted
of nine students who registered the third Saturday in August. At
its inception, the Center consisted of video instruction with Dr.
Sherman serving as class monitor. With the rapid growth in attendance
and varying student interests, the instructional program was expanded
to include instruction by on-campus teachers. Dr. Sherman taught
the first class, but soon found it necessary to acquire the services
of adjunct professors.
The Albany Campus provides an opportunity for
students to obtain a Bible based education while maintaining full time
employment and without having to drive nearly two hundred miles
( round trip ) to study at our main college campus.
The instructional modality encompasses residential/classroom
study, directed study ( originally known as correspondence) and
occasionally scheduled seminars. The Albany Campus has total responsibility
for the recruitment, advisement, teaching, counseling, and monitoring
the academic matriculation of its students. Upon the fulfillment
of all requirements for graduation, the students’ recorded are carried
to the main campus in Dothan for review and inclusion on the list
of graduates. No degrees are issued at the Albany Campus; instead
students must either attend the commencement exercise in Dothan
or graduate in absentia.
The Albany Campus has students from the Southwestern
area of Georgia and the Northeastern area of Florida. As of June 2007, the Albany Campus has graduated 295 students. Its graduates
are serving as pastors, evangelists, teachers, counselors, administrators,
chaplains, and lay leaders in churches. The Albany Campus has a
National Alumni Association of Bethany / Albany students along with
regional four (4) chapters based upon the geographical areas of
its students.
In the fall of 2008, The campus in Albany, Georgia entered the third decade of existance and schooling in Bible-based studies and tehological degrees.
