BBS excels at balancing theological education with preparation for the demands of real-life ministry to make you the leader, minister, husband, and father God desires you to be. A wide variety of courses enable you to create a concentration specifically suited to your calling and ministry goals. Upon completion of the academic program, you will enter a one-year paid, supervised Internship that will hone your leadership skills in a tangible ministry experience. Theological disciplines include OT Hebrew, NT Greek, hermeneutics, biblical theology, systematic theology, and Bible exposition.

BBS offers a variety of non-traditional educational options, including courses taught over the Internet and one- and two-week modular classes throughout the school year (February, May, and October). It is possible to complete over 50 percent of the credits required for graduation this way. Many students find these options a great way to begin their training at BBS before moving to the Clarks Summit area to finish the degree. However, it is not possible at this time to complete the entire Master of Divinity degree through distance education courses. Moving to the Clarks Summit area is necessary if you wish to finish the degree program.
