Overview
This three-year bachelor's degree is Rocky Mountain College's Pre-Seminary credential within its Theology & Biblical Studies department. The department states its programs examine the Bible in its historical, literary and cultural context while teaching students to interpret and apply Scripture to contemporary questions, connecting biblical study with theology, church history, and questions of faith and ethics. Coursework is described as including biblical languages, interpretation and research, intended to build critical thinking and communication skills alongside a well-rounded Christian worldview. As a Pre-Seminary credential, the degree is positioned to prepare students for further study at seminary or graduate school, as well as vocations the department lists more broadly for the discipline, such as pastoral ministry, teaching, theological research, and missions. It is shorter than the department's four-year Bachelor of Arts in Theology with a Biblical Studies focus, offering students a three-year path toward seminary-track preparation. Rocky Mountain College is located in Calgary, Alberta, and is accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation to grant certificates and degrees at the associate and baccalaureate levels.
