Diploma in Biblical Studies (DBS)
The Diploma in Biblical Studies is a great choice for anyone looking for a focused study of the Bible, an overview of Systematic Theology, and practical ministry training. The diploma is primarily designed for those who live in locations where the completion of General Education credits is difficult. Therefore, to receive this diploma, students are not required to complete General Education credits.
Diploma in Biblical Studies (DBS) – 61 Credit Hours
The DBS is designed for students who do not intend to continue on to a degree program. Students planning to work toward a degree should pursue the Associate or Bachelor programs as listed in this Catalog. Students who complete the DBS and then later decide to continue on to an undergraduate degree may do so by transferring in the required General Education credits and open electives. Ministry electives may also be completed at Grace. DBS credits completed will transfer into the undergraduate degree programs.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the DBS Program, you will be able to:
- Express a general knowledge of the books of the Bible, including key individuals, major events, and historical settings.
- Articulate a synthesis of every major category of systematic theology.
- Understand and articulate the grace principles of progressive sanctification in life and ministry.
