AWARDING OF DEGREES​

A degree, diploma or certificate from MLSBT does not guarantee a job or ordination in any specific market or ministry. The primary purposes of our programs are to help strengthen our students/participants' walk with God and to help equip them for Christian ministry.
MLSBT is exempt from the licensing requirement of the Puerto Rico Board of Education, as it complies with the provisions of the Regulations for the Licensing of Institutions of Higher Education in Puerto Rico, section 9.2.1 (number 8265 of October 2012) because it is a religious program.
