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 programs at ATS.

The Associate of Biblical Studies program primarily consists of training in key books of the Bible. The program offers insightful, practical, and systematic training in each of these books. Key theology courses are also presented. By the end of the program, students will have a working knowledge of books from both Testaments and of critical doctrines of the Bible.

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 2.00 GPA to advance into the Bachelor programs at ATS. Upon completion of the Associate of Biblical Studies program, the student is eligible to enroll directly into an ATS Bachelor’s program.
