About

Bachelor of Arts in Theological Languages is a rigorous and intellectually enriching degree designed for students who seek to engage deeply with sacred texts in their original languages. This program emphasizes the study of Biblical Hebrew, Koine Greek, Latin, and sometimes Aramaic or Syriac—languages that form the foundation of Judeo-Christian scripture and theological literature. By learning to read and interpret these texts in their authentic linguistic form, students gain a more nuanced understanding of religious doctrine, historical context, and theological development. The degree is ideal for those pursuing careers in ministry, biblical scholarship, translation, or graduate studies in theology and divinity. It fosters critical thinking, linguistic precision, and spiritual insight, allowing students to explore the roots of faith traditions with clarity and depth.
