MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Website of Bethsaida International Christian University. At a time when information technology continues to exert its influence, negatively or positively, on all aspects of human life, the advocates of progress and development have no choice but to exploit and use wisely the good side of this double-edged sword.
Less than 25 years ago, you had to leave your job, your country, your family to go and get a master's or a doctorate degree elsewhere in the world. Today, the only constraints to achieving such a dream are your linguistic, academic and financial abilities. During the last two decades, all the world's major universities have introduced online training programs to facilitate access to education and training for as many people as possible, who are too busy to come and spend time in a traditional classroom. The invention of the internet has revolutionized the world of distance learning.
As for the labor market, things have changed considerably to the point that you can reside in Florida and be working for a company in China and vice versa. An example closer to home is that of Bethsaida International Christian University where most of the professors reside and work abroad.
Yesterday, we could count on the fingers of one hand the number of Haitians holding a graduate degree. Today, having a master's or doctoral degree is becoming commonplace in Haiti, regardless of the field considered. In 1986, there were about 5 veterinarians in Haiti. Today we have so many of them that they are found in all departments. Indeed, the more available and accessible high-level courses become, the higher the level of competition in the job market becomes. And as is already done in developed countries, for certain professions, a master’s degree will become the minimum requirement to enter the labor market at the level of certain occupations in Haiti. Pa tann se lè dòmi nan je n, pou nou ranje kabann (Don’t wait to be sleepy to fix your bed . The time to act is now or never.
Bethsaida Theological Seminary was designed with the goal of providing Haitians in general and the northwestern particular with tremendous learning opportunities, while continuing to go about their personal lives, spend time with their families, and keep up their jobs. Whether it is semi-face-to-face or correspondence courses, this flexibility in the teaching of courses will allow everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain a graduate degree from the comfort of their home. As a specialist in distance learning and alternative education techniques, we have the tools and knowledge to help you achieve your training goals.
Contrary to what many people think, online courses are not easier than classroom courses. Online or correspondence training requires iron discipline, sustained attendance and excellent organizational skills. We invite you to book your place on board this great boat that is ready to take you to the bottom of the ocean of integral knowledge to bring you to the right port of success. Good luck to all,
