Doctor
of Philosophy
The Ph.D. is the highest academic degree that can be earned
at this institution. Therefore, the University demands an
excellence in scholarship, including the ability to do effective
independent research. Because of the nature of a Ph.D. program,
it is recommended that no more than thirty (30) semester
hours will be achieved through structured class work. Courses
may be selected from the 600 and higher level of Biblical
Studies listed in the back of the catalog. Other courses
should include research projects that fall within the parameters
of this field of study. The program culminates in an original
work representing a significant contribution in their field
of study.
The person admitted to our Ph.D. program must have the appropriate
academic background as well as the initiative and self-discipline
and the research skills necessary to succeed in such a program.
Upon approval for entry into the program the doctoral student
is assigned a faculty advisor and two other faculty members.
These three persons must approve the individualized program
that is designed for the student seeking a Ph.D. The faculty
advisor acts as chairperson for this committee.
