The program leading to a Master of Arts degree requires 40 hours of course work. The graduate six-hour Biblical and Theological Studies requirement is met by taking a 4 hour BITH course from the approved Category I list and INTR 531. Additional courses include INTR 514, 532 (4 hour version), and 561, 572, 621, and 691 for a total of 24 hours. The student will work with an advisor to determine the 16 hours of electives that best meet the student’s background, interests, and goals. At least 4 hours of these electives must be taken in the department.
