Bachelor of Divinity (B.Div.)

The Bachelor of Divinity (B.Div.) is the first of its kind in the United States. Currently the Bachelor of Divinity degree is a degree previously only offered in England and a few other countries overseas.  Luder-Wycliffe is again on the cutting edge by offering the Bachelor of Divinity (B.Div.) degree to its students. Usually a student only has the option for a divinity degree at the Masters Level – Master of Divinity (M.Div.); however, Luder-Wycliffe has seen the need and created this degree at the Bachelors Level!  The academic department has intertwined the Bachelor of Divinity’s (B.Div.) curriculum to prepare students for a Divinity degree at the Masters Level.  You will thoroughly enjoy the carefully selected classes in this program that includes Levels I & II of the Hebrew and Greek languages.
The classes in the Bachelor of Divinity (B.Div.) program are focused on Christian Theology, Interpretation, and Biblical Languages within interpretation.  They entail the study of Christian scriptures, historical development, world religions, doctrines, and practices. They offer a formation of learning  for students preparing for ordained ministry.
This is a 2-year program requiring 64 Credit Hours, however, can be completed in less time depending upon the student’s workload and determination.
