Purpose
The Master of Arts in Bible and Theology (MABT) is a 36-credit degree designed to enable students to articulate the message of the Bible in faithfulness to the entire scope of God’s unfolding story. This is done so that students might live out the way of Jesus in contemporary culture and to promote truly meaningful engagement with the Bible in Christian communities and ministries.
Program Highlights and Structure
The MABT immerses graduate students in an integrated approach to theological graduate education that draws from theology, biblical studies, history, and the pastoral arts, thus enabling the student to engage in theological and spiritual reflection within a vibrant, Christian community.
For a full-time student, this program can be completed in as little as two years, with courses scheduled across three annual terms (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Students whose schedules may periodically prevent full-time enrollment can reduce their load under the guidance of trained academic advisors. The program delivery is offered completely online. In some situations, however, students may elect to complete certain courses via traditional in-person settings: single four-day intensives and as a set of three Friday/Saturday weekend intensives This flexible delivery format is designed to accommodate the diverse needs of our graduate students.
