Why Minor in Biblical Studies?
Students pick up a minor in Biblical Studies for a variety of reasons. Some do so as a complement to another major in the department (Student Ministry, Christian Ministries, Philosophy). Other students pick up a minor in Biblical Studies because they want to be prepared to think "Biblically" about their chosen discipline that is outside the Bible Department (Chemistry, Business, Education, etc.). Still other students pick up a minor in Biblical Studies because they want to be better prepared to serve in the church as an educated layperson.
