Masters Program
The Master of Biblical Studies (MABS) is designed for those who desire to enhance ministry effectiveness or teach Bible and ministry courses at the college level. Program objectives include (1) an overall knowledge of the Bible and (2) a core understanding of theology based on a biblical hermeneutic. In addition, students develop research and writing abilities and acquire skills in expository preaching/teaching. Entry into the MABS program requires a bachelor’s degree from a recognized college or university with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Each MBS student must complete sixty credit hours and maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5. MBS students normally complete the degree in four years. They are grouped in cohorts, taking courses in seven-day modules twice per year. Online courses are taken in the summers.
