Master Of Arts (Biblical Studies) - Core Curriculum

Houston Campus

This 2-year, 66-semester hour Master of Arts program at RTS Houston is designed to biblically equip you, enhance your ability to think biblically in all your callings, and prepare you for more effective service. The spiritual formation that takes place here involves a robust combination of classroom training and rich student community. We aim for both scholarly excellence and practical application as we seek to apply the gospel and God’s truth to all areas of life and creation. In our programs, Christ is central. The Bible is foundational. The Gospel is prominent. Both are anchored in the Reformed tradition. We are gladly Reformed, and we eagerly affirm the community of all believers, listening to the best that other traditions have to offer.

We earnestly desire to build a biblical and theological foundation that will enable you to serve Christ wherever he calls you to follow. We want your training to be rooted and relevant as we make Christ’s invisible kingdom visible in this generation.

Our MABS is designed to be flexible with weekend and night courses, so that you can complete the degree at your own pace. You can start the program at any time. For the MABS, one language sequence is required: Greek I, Greek II, and Greek Exegesis. In order to graduate from the Houston campus with a Master of Arts (Biblical Studies) degree, you must complete at least 51% or 34 of your degree hours at the Houston campus. This degree can be completed in 2 years or more.
