Certificate in Biblical Studies

The Certificate of Biblical Studies is for non-degree seeking students who want a biblical foundation prior to pursuing education or training at a non-Christian institution or for those who already have a degree but are seeking additional instruction in biblical studies. The Certificate is also appropriate for lay workers in local churches who sense a need for biblical education. This program may also help a student to meet the requirements of various missions boards.
