Master of Biblical Studies in New Testament
Program Overview
The Master of Biblical Studies in New Testament Studies is a fifty-six (56) semester hour program. The MBS (New Testament Studies) requires twenty (20) semester hours of language work in New Testament Greek. The program is an exciting program challenging the student to grasp a thorough working knowledge of the Greek language. As the practical ministry aspects have been removed from the program, the program is designed primarily for those who are seeking to enhance their teaching and writing skills under the umbrella of the church. Students receive training in key New Testament books, New Testament Greek, key theological doctrines, and research. Students must pass the New Testament Greek Exit Exam in order to graduate.
