Details of the Biblical Studies degree
The Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies is designed to provide a two year course for students not desiring or able to complete a four year degree, but wishing to have training in Bible and related courses in order to render competent service as lay persons in a local church. Students who are interested in gaining a solid foundation in Christian and biblical studies before transferring to complete a degree not offered at Barclay College will also benefit from the program.
