Biblical Studies (AA)

Why Biblical Studies (AA)?

Building a foundation of understanding in multiple disciplines—especially Bible and theology— an associate’s degree is a great educational route for (1) those who are still deciding what is the correct higher education path for them or (2) those who know what they want to do and know they don’t need a four-year degree to get there. Of course, one of the best things about an associate’s degree is that it is low-cost compared to a four-year program and it results in an in-hand diploma after two years of study. An associate’s degree in biblical studies, specifically, offers students tools for biblical literacy and skills for use in and beyond Christian circles, equipping students to confidently stand on biblical truth in the midst of secular society.
