Master Program

Students enrolling in a Master level degree program will experience a different kind of educational approach than what is typically found in an undergraduate program. Undergraduate programs provide a broad foundation of general knowledge. Whereas no particular undergraduate major is required for entrance into a graduate program, graduate studies build upon the undergraduate foundation by providing a higher level of knowledge, understanding, skills, and application. Such education is developed by challenging the student’s intellectual and emotional capabilities in analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and judgment. 

Student must have completed requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree from Berean Christian College and Seminary or a bachelor’s degree from another college of university in Theology or Biblical Studies in order to enter the Masters program at BCCS. 

​
