Key Facts

The MABTS brings deeply biblical and theological courses, including at least one biblical language. Of the 66 credit hours, 44 are in the areas of Bible and theology and are taught by the faculty who probably translated your Bible. The MABTS is very flexible. It can be completed fully online, in residence, or through a combination of both. If you are currently engaged in ministry, this degree can equip you wherever you are. The MABTS is the only degree beside the Master of Divinity that has the availability to add the church planting track, which will equip you with philosophical and practical skills for church planting. The MABTS prepares you for a PhD or other advanced academic degrees by giving you the option to add a thesis, enabling you to gain greater experience in research and advanced theological writing.
