Program Overview

The Associate of Biblical Studies is the beginning of Bible training at Andersonville. Students who previously have not completed at least 60 semester hours of college level work will begin at this level. Students may receive advanced standing in the program through transfer credits and, in instances where the student is well-qualified, through lifetime credits. The program gives the student solid preparation for the Bachelor of Ministry and Bachelor of Theology programs here at ATS.

The Associate of Biblical Studies program primarily consists of training in key Bible books and theological topics. Students will be instructed by professors such as Dr. Jimmy Hayes, president of ATS, and Dr. James Gibson, a perennial favorite professor at ATS for many, many years. Most courses will involve traditional final exams.

The Associate of Biblical Studies program is an advance-at-your-own-pace program. Most students will complete the program in less than two years. Students are required to maintain a 2.5 GPA in order to advance into the Th.B. or B.Min. programs at ATS. Upon completion of the Associate of Biblical Studies program, the student is eligible to enroll directly into the ATS Bachelor program.
