| GRADUATE PROGRAMS:
DESCRIPTION
Rocky Mountain Seminary offers two programs majoring in Bible or professional studies. RMS believes the two programs of the seminary offer a viable alternative to traditional theological studies. A student will receive a Bible specialization, guidance in personalized biblical research, and professional internship experience – all in the equivalent time of a traditional seminary degree.
Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Bible provides in one year a 32-credit course of study that gives a sound foundation in Bible and theology to graduates of colleges, universities, and professional schools. The emphasis on Bible meets students’ personal goals for formal Bible study and development of spiritual life. The Graduate Certificate satisfies the Bible requirement for entrance into various forms of Christian vocation or additional graduate study. It is equivalent to the first year of Rocky Mountain’s standard-track master’s program.
Master of Arts: Biblical Studies
The Master of Arts in Biblical Studies offers in a two-year program (standard track) a graduate specialization in Bible, biblical interpretation, and theology. Students who qualify for the advanced track may complete the MA(BS) program with two semesters of coursework plus an academic thesis. This program aims to produce graduates who know Scripture well, are skilled in independent biblical and theological research, and are committed to a biblical view of faith and life.
The atmosphere of study is both informative and informal. Lectures, discussion, and meaningful assignments are the means of instruction. The program is designed to give students exposure to the Old and New Testaments and the major doctrines of the Christian faith in order to construct a Biblical and doctrinal framework for living and ministering effectively in their own culture. |
