All students are required to complete a biblical studies course except those who have earned an A.A. or A.S. Biblical Studies courses focus on a particular Biblical genre, book, or testament of the Bible. Students generally will take either Old Testament Survey or New Testament Survey; however, another BIBL course may be selected to meet the requirement.
Other non-catalog courses that have been approved to meet the Biblical Studies requirement include:
- BIBL 170 Experiencing the Story of God
- BIBL 173/373 Interpreting the City: Reading the New Testament in Spain
Students wishing to transfer in a biblical studies course may do so as long as the course meets the following requirements:
1. The course must have an in depth focus on a portion of scripture and contain an exegesis component.
2. The course must be completed at a Christian or Bible school; courses from public institutions may be accepted as elective credit and will not fulfill the biblical studies requirement.
3. The course cannot be a literature or history course.
