CBTS
The Diploma of Biblical Studies (D.B.S.)
The Diploma of Biblical Studies is a terminal degree program modeled after the Master of Biblical Studies curriculum, designed to train a student in biblical content, systematic and historical theology, missions, and evangelism. The diploma program is open to qualified men and women who have not completed an undergraduate degree. Central offers this educational option to those who desire to prepare for a support role in the local church or in the work of missions, but whose life circumstances have not allowed the completion of an undergraduate degree. The Diploma of Biblical Studies curriculum is identical to the Master of Biblical Studies program. In keeping with Seminary’s overarching purpose, the Diploma of Biblical Studies is designed to develop within the student both theological integrity and appropriate affections for God, His people, and those without Christ.
Students entering any of the educational programs offered by CBTS without an undergraduate Bible degree are required to read Basic Theology by Charles Ryrie and Basics of Biblical Interpretation by Roy Zuck.
