Overview

The Biblical Studies Major is offered by Samford University. This major is perfect for anyone preparing for ministry or the mission field, or who is contemplating a career as a biblical scholar or theologian, or for anyone who loves the Bible and recognizes its importance for their lifelong spiritual formation and their ability to live a life shaped by biblical values.

Key Facts

Biblical studies majors called to ministry can apply for Samford's accelerated B.A.-to-M.Div. program. If accepted, they can earn both degrees in six years rather than the typical seven. Biblical Studies majors who also complete a general business minor as part of their undergraduate program are eligible to enter into Samford University’s fifth-year M.B.A. program.
