Certificate in Biblical Studies<br />
Objectives<br />
The Certificate in Biblical Studies is designed with two specific needs<br />
in mind. The first is for persons who seek a year of study in preparation<br />
for lay service with an overseas mission agency, or for more<br />
effective lay involvement in the life of their local congregation. It also<br />
serves as a “trial year in seminary” for persons who wish to test their<br />
gifts and skills with a view toward possible further preparation for<br />
full-time Christian ministry.<br />
Certificate coursework may later be applied toward a Master of Divinity<br />
or Master of Arts degree.<br />
Admission Requirements<br />
Applicants must possess a Bachelor of Arts degree or its academic<br />
equivalent from an accredited college with a minimum grade point<br />
average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale).<br />
All applicants must submit a written statement outlining their vocational<br />
objectives and how the certificate relates to those objectives.<br />
Graduation Requirements<br />
a. Satisfactorily complete all courses for a total of 32 semester<br />
units as outlined in the curriculum below.<br />
b. Obtain a 3.0 GPA with no grade below a “C-” in all courses to<br />
be credited toward graduation.<br />
C. At least 24 units must be taken at this seminary.<br />
d. Complete the entire program in no more than five years.<br />
Students are placed on academic probation if their GPA for any<br />
semester falls below 3.0 and will remain on probation as long as the<br />
single semester or cumulative GPA remains below 3.0.<br />
Probation students are granted one semester in which to bring their<br />
academic work up to the required level (3.0) for continuance in the<br />
seminary. A student cannot graduate while on probation.<br />
