The 60-credit Scholar’s program features more focused and specialized training in Biblical Studies or Theological Studies. It is designed to prepare students to serve in the church, to teach in a Christian school, or to serve as a foundation for more advanced theological students. The Scholar’s program can also serve as a stepping stone toward the Divinity program. The student must complete the Scholar’s program within 7 years from the time of his enrollment.

Individuals with an earned Bachelor’s degree are eligible to earn either a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies (MABS) degree or a Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) degree. Those without a Bachelor’s degree are eligible for an Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies (AABS) or Associate of Arts in Theological Studies (AATS).
