Master’s Degree in Bible and Theology

The Master of Bible and Theology trains you for advanced knowledge in the study, interpretation, and application of the Word of God. Employ analytical thinking and utilize basic disciplines and methodologies for independent study of Scripture for your ministry.

The Thesis option is especially designed for and usually limited to students who plan to continue graduate work in a Ph.D. doctoral program. In this option, you take two 3-hour courses of Thesis in the Elective Component of the degree plan. These two courses must be taken in two consecutive regular semesters (Fall-Spring or Spring-Fall, not available in Summer). This option must be approved by the Department of Bible and Theology during the semester prior to your first semester of thesis.
