It is important that all students note that the curriculum supporting the Associate of Biblical Studies with a major in Biblical Studies degree program is primarily biblical and theological in nature and is not to be confused or mistaken for an associate of liberal arts degree as may be obtained from a traditional junior college or four year college. The hours earned at the associate’s level at CBS will best transfer to schools and colleges that espouse a biblical and theological curriculum.
