We offer a variety of research programs for master-readers of the Bible, Doctrine & Theology,
History, and/or Story…
…from the Bible-Epic of the Cosmic War to Modern Wars,
from Church History to the Matter of Britain,
from settings in the Old World or New,
from Jacob & Hezekiah to Charlemagne & Joshua Chamberlain,
there is a wide range of topics available towards achieving your degree.
Candidates in a program are typically given two years to complete their research and writing, with accessible guidance from their supervisor(s) along the way.
(Please inquire first, if you will need more than two years to complete your thesis.)
Whether residential or online, the goal is a paper that both the candidate and their supervising team are proud of.
NOTE: Even if a program is ‘In Development’ please still inquire with your interest so that we can prioritize finding an overseer for that program.

FEATURED PROGRAM
D. of the Chivalric Arts
This degree (in the spirit of the prestigious D.Litt.) proves a man’s growth in wisdom within the challenge of a Christian knight, who must be simul-fierce to the nth & meek to the nth as a leader and disciple of King JESUS in the congregation & community. (In development; the MChA is usually a prerequisite)
A successful DChA proposal will intersect and synthesize an image of lived-out, Traditional Christianity as expressed specifically through
- Sacramentology & Eschatology
- Devotional Spirituality (lived-out Liturgy)
- History
- High-Literature (‘Fantasy’) OR one of the Sacred Imaginative Arts, and
- Chivalry (lived-out Christian Ethics)
The MChA forms the student in developing a framework towards a lived-out Christian spirituality that is both actively (daily) aware of the Cosmic War, and that man’s bearing & action in their local parish (‘the Church’) and community/region (‘Society’), by demonstrating a framework (‘the MChA’ itself).
The doctorate aspect of the Chivalric Arts program is the candidate developing a derivative paradigm (if not their own).
