School of Biblical Studies Course Catalog
School of Biblical Studies (Flagship program)
The Bible Diploma Program is HTI’s flagship program. It is designed to guarantee your success no matter how much or how little you currently know about the Bible. You’ll graduate with a deepened understanding of the Bible and Christian theology and, along the way, you’ll learn Bible study and discipleship skills that will prepare you for years of fruitful ministry.
Our classes are held on Monday evenings from 6:00-9:50. We divide the semesters into two, eight week “blocks” and teach a different slate of courses in each block (see the schedule below). Students can complete the program in two years by taking both courses offered each block. The tuition is a modest $125 per course. Students are responsible to purchase their own books.
You will receive the Diploma in Biblical Studies upon completion of the program. Students that withdraw after completing the first year will receive a Certificate in Biblical Studies. Because of its foundational nature, we strongly encourage you to complete the entire program before enrolling in other programs or taking specialized courses.
