Dr. Larry McCullough

Dear
student,
Welcome
to FLET University! This web site is designed to help you choose the program of
studies that will permit you to reach your goals and objectives, and guide you
in the implementation of a biblical education program in your church.
With your education, you will contribute to the edification of the Body
of Christ with integrity and excellence.
We
know that it is difficult in our day to acquire a quality education that permits
you to communicate effectively and profoundly the teachings of the Scriptures.
Faced with this situation, FLET University--specializing in distance
education--offers you the opportunity to enrich your biblical and theological
knowledge, and at the same time obtain an academic degree in one of the
professional areas of our undergraduate and graduate programs.
The
practical system of study utilized by FLET University is distance education.
This system has many advantages: the student can study part time while he is
working; he can study in his home or office; he does not have to leave his own
city; and he can complete his studies while serving a congregation, or during
his free time. This mode of study has the same academic value as a residence
institution. Furthermore, FLET University accepts credit for courses studied in
other institutions.
The
methodology of the courses designed by FLET includes study guides, textbooks,
and other materials. You can study as an individual or you can meet in small
discussion and study groups if you desire. We encourage you to take advantage of
this extraordinary method of study. We assure you that it will enrich your
knowledge and that you will be satisfied with what you learn.
May
God bless you and guide you in your search for training that permits you to
greatly enlarge your ministry and your effectiveness as a servant of God.
Serving
you and Christ,
Larry
McCullough
The
educational method implemented by FLET is known as “distance education”,
which uses pedagogical materials designed to train the student in the art of
self-study. This methodology takes the student through stages, so that he learns
the biblical-theological contents of the program as he learns to use different
research and study methods. During
the learning process, the student will develop habits that will serve him for a
lifetime of service in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The process
is as follows: The student should apply for admission to the program of
preference, and send the corresponding payments for annual registration and for
the first course. Then he should purchase the textbook for the course for which
he has registered. The textbook includes the plan of studies (study guide),
which details the manner in which he is to comply with the course requirements.
In addition, we include a facilitator’s (or tutor’s) manual, which gives
instructions about leading a group of students--if the students have formed such
a group--including questions for discussion and guidelines for the course in
general.
Each undergraduate course is designed for eight weeks of study. Nevertheless, it may be taken in as little as four weeks. The maximum time limit for a course is sixteen weeks (see the explanation of the Policy for incomplete courses). Two weeks before finishing the course, the student or facilitator should communicate with the office of FLET University to request the final exam.
The
mission of FLET University is to provide a theological and biblical education
for the Spanish-speaking world by means of distance learning. This practical
system of distance teaching emphasizes the development of the student in the
following areas:
One of the purposes of FLET University is to prepare students for Christian ministry. This necessitates commitment and dedication in the service of Christ. For this reason, the University requires that students taking four or more courses in a one-year period participate in a regular significant ministry of evangelism and discipleship. By fulfilling this requirement the student complements his/her theological academic development.
The
physical facilities of FLET University are located in the southwest of
Miami-Dade County, in Florida, USA, directly beside the Tamiami Executive
Airport of West Kendall. The institution is easily accessible from the Florida
Turnpike. The administrative
offices (for directors, faculty, and administrative staff) are presently located
in an air-conditioned two-story building. The
library has a collection of over 5,000 volumes, including books, magazines, and
other educational media. The facilities also include production offices, a
conference room, and a small kitchen/eating area. Concerts, conferences, and
seminars are offered in local churches.
