Seminary Courses Sequence

You do not need to be enrolled in the MA in Bible program to take seminary courses.

Finish a Master's in Bible in 2 Years

Take about one class every 8 weeks to finish in 2 years. You can speed up the process by taking virtual semester classes, virtual modular classes, or two courses at a time. How does online learning work?

  • You may start the program on any 8-week cycle.
  • You may not take more than one, 8-week online course the first time. After the first online course, you may request permission to take two classes at the same time.
  • You do not need to follow the year sequencing exactly; you may mix and match courses from a different year, provided you eventually complete the course.
