Miscellaneous
For each of the preceding programs of study in this department the
GPA is computed from the specialty area.
Even though transfer students may have acquired at another college
the hours required in Bible and Theology for a program, the department
requires the student to take Systematic Theology 437-438 and two
semesters of book studies, one of which must be BIB 402 - Romans and
Galatians. If the student has had two semesters of Systematic Theology,
the courses may be retaken or THE 337 - Theology of the Old Testament
and THE 338 - Theology of the New Testament may be taken instead.
The transfer student should consult with the Department
Chairperson concerning the Foundations for Ministry course(s) which
should be taken.
The non-ministerial student or the pre-seminary student may with
proper authorization make substitutions for pastoral-oriented courses.
However, the pre-seminary student may not make substitutions for PAS
101, 201, 301, 401, 261, or 262.
Students with significant cross-cultural experience may petition the
Director for permission to substitute other courses for the practicum in
lieu of a cross-cultural practicum. Substitutions require the approval of
the Department Chairperson and Program Director.
Any Bible and Theology major who chooses an Intercultural Studies
minor may take a modern foreign language in lieu of Greek.
BIB 101, 102, and THE 230 are prerequisites to 300- and 400-level
courses in Bible and Theology.
