MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL 2008–2010 CATALOG Moody Bible Institute 820 N. LaSalle Blvd. Chicago, IL 60610-3276 312.329.4400 1.800.967.4MBI www.moody.edu Welcome! Choosing a college is a critical decision. At the end of the day, you are making a decision that will impact the rest of your life. Moody Bible Institute will help you prepare for a lifetime of serving Jesus Christ. This catalog is packed with information. Let me suggest that you begin by taking an “overview” of its contents. Read though the different majors and areas of study. As you do, it won’t take you long to notice that the Bible—the Word of God—is the core emphasis. No matter what ministry or career God has prepared for you, being rooted and grounded in God’s Word will never be a waste of time. Moody Bible Institute has been training men and women to serve Christ for over 120 years. That is a remarkable legacy. And we are committed to training the next generation of leaders. Perhaps God wants you to be part of the legacy yet to be written. Most colleges will give you an education. Many schools can train you for a career. Moody will give you framework for life founded on His Word and will prepare you for a lifetime of ministry. May He give you clear direction as you walk in faith, Charles Dyer Provost and Dean of Education Moody Bible Institute 2 Timothy 3:16–17 3 Florida Higher Education Authorization Moody Bible Institute (www.moody.edu), pursuant to its accreditation with a U.S.D.O.E. and State of Florida approved accrediting agency, is a CERTIFIED MEMBER of the Florida Council of Private Colleges, Inc., (FCPC, www.fcpc.info) which represents its member inde- pendent colleges and universities before any government and/or educational agency.
