SAIACS emphasises the importance of academics. Positioned as a premier institute for evangelical, higher theological training in South Asia, SAIACS attracts some of the finest scholars from across the globe, to teach and guide its students. It aims for quality in all aspects of the curriculum, stressing the importance of sound research methodology, good writing and analytical skills and intellectual integrity. It is justifiably proud of the research produced by its students.

Residential and Non-Residential

SAIACS offers residential degree programmes for Masters of Arts in Christianity (MA), Master of Theology (MTh), Doctor of Missiology (DMiss), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and a non-residential programme in Doctor of Ministry (DMin).

The residency requirement for the MATS and the MTh programmes is two academic years. This period may be extended where equivalency course requirements are added to a student's MTh programme. Doctoral programmes involve longer periods.

Modular System

Typically, courses are taught in modules of four weeks duration (Monday to Friday). For the MATS degree, a typical module consists of 60 classroom hours, and an exam at the end of the module. A typical module for the MTh programme consists of 45 classroom lecture hours, usually held in the first three weeks, and 15 classroom hours of student presentations of either a paper or seminar.
