BIBLICAL STUDIES
Every four-year student at ACU, takes 18 credits of biblical studies as a central, supporting component of our vision to transform culture with truth. The Bible provides a fundamental source of truth in developing a robust Christian worldview.
While most students take the 18 required credits and receive a minor in Biblical Studies, you can also pursue Biblical Studies as a major.
Transfer (campus and online) and adult evening students who begin their studies at ACU with at least 30 credits take 9 Bible credits.
