Bachelor in Bible/Biblical Studies (Bachelor's)

Tuition is 7,520 USD per year.

This field studies the Christian and/or Jewish Bible and related literature. Students learn to understand and interpret its theological, doctrinal, and ethical messages.

It may also prepare students to apply these studies in various religious vocations.

For international students, tuition is well below the median for US programmes.

At its Minneapolis campus, Bethlehem College & Seminary offers in-person degree programs within a distinctly Christian setting. The school describes education as a way to cultivate “serious joy,” with students encouraged to understand and value the glory of Christ in all things. Its approach joins biblical study with learning from the wider world, reflecting the belief that God’s glory can be seen in both. Minneapolis is the setting for the college, seminary, and evening degree programs.

Bethlehem College provides undergraduate programs with accelerated master’s options. Bethlehem Seminary offers a Master of Divinity and a pastoral apprenticeship. Evening degrees include a Bachelor of Theology and a Master of Arts, with schedules intended to accommodate work and family responsibilities. Across these programs, the stated aim is to prepare students for wise Christian witness, pastoral leadership, discipleship, and service to the church. The school presents the Bible as the decisive source of meaning and places theology, Scripture, worship, ministry, and Christian formation at the center of academic life.

International students should know that the institution has supported seminarians from theologically underserved regions through the Alex Steddom International Student Fund. The fund was originally intended to assist up to four seminarians each year at the Minneapolis campus. Its future focus is shifting toward theological education in students’ home countries, while earlier recipients have returned or plan to return home for ministry. Scholarships and work-study support have helped some students study without educational debt, but prospective applicants should confirm current funding and program arrangements directly with the school.
