BA/BS in Bible/Biblical Studies

The biblical studies program trains students to read scripture carefully and to interpret it with sound method. Students examine the Old and New Testaments, their historical settings and the major questions of historical theology. The bachelor of arts track adds ancient biblical languages, while the bachelor of science track offers a different route through the subject. Both prepare learners to teach others in congregations, classrooms and other ministry settings. Faculty are described as highly qualified, and students are encouraged to engage thoughtfully with differing viewpoints. Graduates frequently move on to graduate research, teaching or leadership roles in churches and related organizations, including posts as college professors in Old Testament, New Testament or theology. The subject can be studied on campus or online.
