Biblical and Theological Studies
Make your life a testament to God's word.
The Biblical & Theological Studies Department contributes to the overall mission of the University by:
- Acquainting students with a basic overview and introductory understanding of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures.
- Introducing students to basic principles of Biblical interpretation.
- Providing students opportunities to apply both the overview of the Bible and basic principles of interpretation to a particular Biblical book or major cluster within the testaments.
- Offering students a capstone experience in the senior year designed to produce an integration of the Christian faith with significant and relevant life issues.
- Designing, in consultation with students, a major in Biblical studies that provides a foundation for graduate study in a cognate field and entry level preparation for professional seminary education.
- Complementing the program and preparation of students specializing in other divisions by offering appropriate minors in Biblical studies and philosophy.
