Dallas Baptist University
Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies
The program of study for a major in Biblical studies is designed to prepare students for further seminary or university studies, or for a lifetime of study and service without further formal training. The College of Christian Faith encourages on-the-job training for Biblical studies majors in cooperation with local churches, hospitals, missions, and other religious institutions.
Goals
- To equip the student with the ability to articulate a general knowledge of the Old Testament and New Testament.
- To provide a foundation of high quality academic training for ministry, equipping students to serve as pastors, teachers, missionaries, and in other positions of Christian leadership.
- To provide the academic foundation that will enable our graduates to be accepted in and graduate from graduate theological programs.
- To enable the student to ponder the ultimate questions of life, to develop a strong, maturing, distinctively evangelical faith, and present an apologetic to competing views.
- To lay a Biblical foundation for the student's task of integrating faith and learning.
- To integrate the Biblical studies discipline with God's truth wherever it is found.
