Why Biblical Studies?

The Biblical Studies minor at Colorado Christian University equips you for a lifetime of growth in Bible study by giving you the tools and knowledge needed to do accurate exposition of biblical texts. The Biblical Studies minor is also effective preparation for further study in graduate school or seminary and assists in developing essential skills for studying ancient and religious texts.
