Program Description

The program of study for a major in Biblical Studies is designed to prepare students for further seminary or university studies, or for a lifetime of study and service without further formal training. The Mary C. Crowley College of Christian Faith encourages on-the-job training for Biblical Studies majors in cooperation with local churches, hospitals, missions, and other religious institutions.

Additional Program Information

Biblical Languages are not required for a major in Biblical Studies but are strongly recommended. The second year of Greek or Intermediate Hebrew will count as part of the general studies foreign language requirement.
