Bachelor in Christian Studies (Bachelor's)

Campus life at Toccoa Falls College centers on a waterfall and a setting in the foothills of northeast Georgia. The college presents its location as more than a scenic feature: the campus is intended to be a place set apart for learning, Christian formation, and service. Its identity is closely connected to its location in Toccoa Falls and its role as Georgia’s Christian university.

Since 1907, Toccoa Falls has prepared students through an integration of character and intellect. Biblical truth, Christ-centered learning, academic excellence, transformative community, and intentional spiritual formation shape the institution’s educational approach. The college offers more than 50 majors and programs across on-campus and online study, including undergraduate and graduate online options. Areas of campus activity include academics, residential life, athletics, music, and community events, with recent campus developments including a Steinway concert grand piano and work on Forrest Hall.

International students should expect a distinctly Christian learning environment in which faith is integrated into personal and professional preparation. The college’s stated purpose is to develop students who can serve in the Kingdom of God, both personally and professionally. Study formats include on-campus undergraduate education, online undergraduate and graduate programs, and dual enrollment. Toccoa Falls’ foothill setting, small-campus focus, and emphasis on spiritual formation are central parts of the student experience.

This programme is designed for students who are pursuing a primary bachelor's degree in another field. It allows them to earn a second bachelor's degree in Bible & Theology by completing additional courses. Students study Old and New Testament literature, theology, hermeneutics, and spiritual formation. The double major integrates biblical knowledge with practical application and research skills.

Focus areas include Hermeneutics, New Testament Studies, Systematic Theology, Spiritual Formation, Theological Research, Biblical Languages.

The double major requires additional coursework beyond the 30-hour core, with students selecting specific Bible & Theology classes to meet credit hour requirements. The total credits for the double major are not specified on the page.

Graduates enter roles such as pastor, youth pastor, church director, Christian educator, or counselor in faith-based settings.

Students must be enrolled in a primary bachelor's degree program outside the Bible & Theology Department. No specific GPA, test scores, or application documents are listed.

On-campus, full-time; the double major can be completed in the same time as a single degree. For international students, tuition is below the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 64% of applicants.
