Biblical Studies examines scriptural texts within their historical settings and explores methods of interpretation.
The curriculum separates into Old Testament (Tanakh or Hebrew Bible) and New Testament studies.
Students may pursue advanced study of biblical languages, including Classical Hebrew and New Testament Greek.
The Diploma for Graduates (DipGrad) serves multiple academic purposes and can function as an additional specialization. This program requires completion of seven papers, with a minimum of four at 300-level or higher. Designed for degree holders, it can be finished in one year full-time or spread over multiple years part-time.
A DipGrad offers excellent opportunities for professional retraining or skill enhancement. Many learners find it an accessible pathway to continued education and a valuable stepping stone to graduate-level studies.
