Master of Arts
Biblical Studies
The Master of Arts in Biblical Studies is designed for people who
do not need a professional ministry degree. The emphasis in this degree
is personal growth and development through a structured course of study
of the Bible, theology and church history. This degree will enhance
the ability of godly men and women to serve more effectively in the
local church, witness more efficiently in their work-world and walk
more intimately with their Lord. Sunday School teachers, church officers
and women’s ministry leaders are encouraged to pursue this degree
as a means of sharpening their skills.
Many students will discover in the pursuit of the M.A.B.S., that they
desire more training. Students, therefore, may build on this degree
and complete one of the Master of Arts degrees offered by BTS in a
ministry-focused area. Students seeking a church ministry position
should plan on completing an M.A. and those desiring to pursue ordination
should plan to complete the M.Div. ordination track.
