At Westminster Seminary California, we believe that the study of Scripture is founded upon a robust understanding of the Bible’s original languages, so our students learn to engage with the Greek and Hebrew texts with a high level of competency. This approach has deep roots in the Reformed tradition and prepares our alumni to pursue a wide range of callings upon completion of their degree. The Masters in Biblical Studies program focuses on how the study of Scripture is founded upon an understanding of the biblical languages, Greek and Hebrew, equipping graduates with the tools to study the Bible in the language of its authors, thus enhancing their ability to properly exegete and apply the Word of God.
Our MABS program is a 2 year and 72 credit program. Students will focus their studies in the areas of biblical studies, biblical languages, and systematic theology. For more information, see the degree program outline below.
“The Biblical Studies program at WSC offered me an experience akin to watching a black and white movie in full color for the first time. I gained new eyes that recognize Christ in all of Scripture and new ears that hear his story as the answer to life’s ultimate questions.”
