This certificate gives students a comprehensive overview of the Bible and its component books, analyzed through historical, literary, and theological methods and tools. The 30-credit program is nominally one year of full-time study, with up to 15 credits of prior learning eligible for recognition. It combines a 15-credit core in biblical studies, covering the Synoptic Gospels, the biblical world, Pauline literature, and prophetic and apocalyptic literature alongside exploration and integration projects, with a 15-credit concentration chosen from Bible and Culture, Bible and Exegesis, Bible and Pastoral Studies, or Ancient and Biblical Languages. The program can be followed partially or entirely at a distance, giving flexibility to students balancing study with other commitments. Admission is offered in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. It suits students seeking academic grounding in biblical scholarship for personal, pastoral, or further academic purposes.
