Associate of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies

The two year Associate in Arts degree has become one of the most recognized credentials for college level work, less than a four year Bachelor’s degree program.  The Bible College is honored to offer this degree in Biblical Studies.  This 60 credit hour program is designed to undergird the students in the fundamentals of Christian faith and to stimulate them to evaluate knowledge in the light of scriptural truth. Upon completion of this two year program, students may go on to earn a B.A. at MSBBC&S, transfer to other institutions or enter into church related ministries as biblically oriented lay persons.  Students who earn the A.A. degree and transfer to other institutions are advised to obtain advanced approval in writing from the college to which they plan to transfer the credits.    

Upon completion of the Associate in Arts in Biblical Studies program, the graduate will:  

1. Demonstrate knowledge of the historical background of the books of the Old and New Testaments so that they may understand the context in which each book was written. 
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and see how God has progressively revealed Himself throughout the Bible. 
3. Define and defend his/her faith from a conservative, evangelical viewpoint. 
4. Demonstrate a working knowledge of Bible doctrine. 
5. Demonstrate the necessary skills for independent Bible Study. 
6. State and defend a worldview that is consistent with Biblical revelation.
