Master of Arts (Research)
Biblical Studies
The Master of Arts (Biblical Studies) prepares students for further academic work in the areas of the Old and New Testament, for teaching at an undergraduate level, and for ministry in the local church. The program accomplishes these goals by increasing competency in biblical languages, facility in sound hermeneutical principles, and ability to synthesize key theological themes. A concentration in either Old or New Testament can be achieved by taking at least 18 hours in either OTS/HEB or NTS/GRK courses.
