A.A. in Biblical Studies
Program Overview

The Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies is designed to provide adult learners with a Biblically-grounded education at the associate level. It is particularly suited for those who want to use this degree to serve in the Church. While some students may desire only this degree, for those who wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree from us, this program will also fulfill the 61 hours of prerequisites for our baccalaureate degree completion programs. All of the courses in this program are designed specifically for adult learners and are offered in flexible formats (e.g. evenings and online, though see p. 6). For more information contact the program director, Steve Collins. The curriculum focuses on enabling adult learners to be more effective servant leaders who:

Live faithfully by submitting to the authority of Scripture as a guide to Christian living.
Think Biblically by understanding and applying a Biblical worldview to their work and ministry, with special focus on a broad understanding of Scripture.
Grow intellectually by thinking critically, learning collaboratively, and communicating effectively.
Improve professionally by demonstrating general competencies appropriate to their chosen field, particularly in areas related to Bible and theology.
Learn continually by developing a plan for lifelong learning, including pursuit of a baccalaureate.
