For more than 60 years, Columbia Biblical Seminary has been training students to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission to go into the entire world and preach the gospel to everyone, everywhere.

GEORGE W. MURRAY PRESIDENT Our graduates have truly made a difference throughout the world! More than 5,000 alumni have faithfully served the Lord in over 120 nations across the globe. While at CBS, these outstanding men and women have deepened their knowledge of the Word of God, grown in Christlikeness and gained practical ministry skills. And, they have embraced God’s eternal vision to seek and save the lost, and to plant and build up the church.

This catalog will give you a sense of our challenging academics, caring faculty and dynamic campus. However, to truly experience the life-shaping aspects of CBS, I strongly encourage you to come for a visit! CBS is really about people -- professors, staff and students who will bless and challenge you, enhance your passion for ministry, and enrich your Christian walk like never before.

When you take a closer look, you’ll learn why I chose CBS for my own education. It will prepare you to be a Great Commission Christian no matter where you will live and serve. So, whatever and wherever your ministry calling, I hope you will prayer- fully consider studying here at Columbia!

Warmly in Christ,

George W. Murray

Know Christ by Learning Submission to His Lordship and Dependence on the Holy Spirit

10 THE BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH For most students, the CBS faculty believes the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) is the degree program of choice because: ■ The M.Div. curriculum affords the most thorough training for ministry leadership. ■ The M.Div. degree is the stated or preferred qualification for ordination in many churches. ■ The M.Div. degree is prerequisite for continuing professional development in any accredited Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program.

Nevertheless, the seminary’s Biblical Ministry Certificate and Master of Arts programs are each complete in themselves and may best meet the needs of some students. The programs are specifically designed so that students may begin in the certificate program and later use their courses to proceed to a M.A. or M.Div. degree, as illustrated below:

Master of Divinity PROGRAM 1: 90 HOURS PROGRAM 2: 75 HOURS

Master of Arts PROGRAM 1: 60 HOURS PROGRAM 2: 30 OR 51 HOURS

The Master of Arts in Bible Exposition (M.A.BE) is designed to enable the student to understand the Scriptures thoroughly, apply them faithfully, and communicate them clearly. This degree provides a basic introduction to biblical studies, equipping in an exegesis sequence, and practice in communicating Scripture under the guidance of a biblical studies mentor.

This degree prepares students for a teaching or preaching ministry in such settings as a local church, a parachurch organization, or a Bible Institute in the majority world. By selecting a biblical language exegesis sequence and using electives judiciously, the student may prepare for doctoral work in biblical studies.

Primary responsibility to fund one’s education and to seek needed resources rests with the student. When students are unable to fund their education fully, CIU desires to assist them in obtaining additional financing from federal, state, institutional, and private foundation resources as we are able. Students who wish to be considered for aid from these sources must meet general eligibility requirements as well as fund-specific criteria. Eligibility requirements and instructions for applying are outlined below. International students are not eligible for federal aid but may qualify for institutional aid.

Federal Financial Aid Types of Federal Aid The federal government is committed to assisting students The following types of federal aid are offered to eligible graduate whose personal resources are not sufficient to pay for graduate applicants: studies. This assistance may come in the form of loans or federal work-study programs.
