Special Studies The Special Studies Division of the Athenaeum of Ohio exists to provide specialized programs of academic study for persons training for, or currently engaged in, church ministry or human service work. While the Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and Lay Pastoral Ministry Divisions of the Athenaeum provide broad-based programs of study and training for ministry, Special Studies programs provide a more specialized academic focus. Currently the Athenaeum of Ohio offers four types of study within this division. The Special Studies Division includes three Master of Arts degree programs, the deacon formation program, continuing ministerial education, and the opportunity for qualified students to take individual courses. Master of Arts Degrees The Athenaeum of Ohio offers three specialized Master of Arts degrees: Biblical Studies, Pastoral Counseling and Theology. These degree programs are open to all students who meet the entrance requirements of each program. For application and registration materials for these degree programs, contact the Office of the Registrar. For 2010-2011, tuition in all three master's degree programs is $315 per credit hour. 41
Master of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies Purpose The objective of this degree is to provide the student a graduate-level mastery of the field of biblical studies and research, i.e., sufficient familiarity with the area of biblical studies to serve as a competent teacher and scholar. It also prepares the student for the pursuit of doctoral studies. Prerequisites for Admission to the Program In order to apply, a candidate must have completed a Bachelor of Arts degree with a 3.0 average. It is also expected that the student will already have earned at least 18 quarter credits in theology. Admission A student must apply to the Dean of the Athenaeum either by May 1 for autumn quarter admission or by October 1 for winter quarter admission. The Admissions and Degrees Committee of the Athenaeum will decide on the application. After reviewing the transcripts and other pertinent material, the committee will determine whether or not the applicant has fulfilled the prerequisites for the program. The committee may make specific recommendations about what will satisfy the prerequisites or about particular courses which ought to be taken by a given applicant in light of the academic background. The student who is matriculated in the Master of Divinity program ordinarily can apply for admission to the Master of Arts in Biblical Studies program at the completion of his second year of seminarybased study. Language Requirement The student must achieve a working knowledge of Biblical Greek or Biblical Hebrew. Ordinarily this requirement is satisfied by completing L 200 and L 201 or L 251 and L 252. Having completed 12 semester hours of study of a language, with a B average, within the last 10 years, also satisfies the language requirement. It is expected that some use of the biblical language be demonstrated in one’s major research paper or thesis. Candidacy Before a student is admitted as a candidate for the Master of Arts in Biblical Studies degree 1) the student must have participated in the orientation to research in biblical studies, which is an introduction to biblical research methodology, reference sources and use of the library; and 2) at least 15 quarter credit hours of work must be completed and reviewed by the Dean of the Athenaeum as satisfactory (a 3.0 average). Academic Requirements A student must obtain a minimum of 58 hours of course work to earn the degree and must have a 2.5 grade point average at the end of the first year of study for the degree, or the first 18 credits, whichever comes last, and a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 at the end of each quarter thereafter. Students falling below the required average are on probation with regard to this program. More than two successive quarters on probation will require faculty action for the student to continue in the program. Each student will be assigned an academic advisor who must approve all course registrations. 42
