BIBLICALLY ROOTED + THEOLOGICALLY FORMED

The Biblical and Theological Studies Department at Wheaton College Graduate School gives students an appreciation for the depth of our evangelical Christian heritage, thanks to an accomplished faculty from a spectrum of denominations. Faculty provide a rich, interdisciplinary learning environment where biblical reflection and theological discussion go beyond the classroom. In the context of traditional biblical Christianity, faculty members are committed to helping students understand the theological underpinnings of their lives and calling within the context of Christ’s Kingdom. We invite YOU to prayerfully consider exploring our community at Wheaton College Graduate School.

M.A. in Biblical Exegesis applications due February 1st. M.A. in History of Christianity and Theology applications are due March 1st.
