Four-Year Schedule

Completion of the MDiv in four academic years enables the completion of beginning Greek (NT 4030-4031 undergraduate) and OT and NT Bible Introduction courses (OT 5000 and NT 5000 as graduate electives) during that time frame and a reduced intensity of course schedule for the duration. The suggested sequence below accommodates prerequisite course requirements as noted in the Catalog course descriptions.
