Biblical studies degree offered in Spanish

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Beginning in the fall, Hispanic church leaders will be able to earn an associate’s degree online in their native language through Boyce College, the undergraduate college of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky.

The 60-hour degree, an associate of arts in biblical and theological studies, will not include any residency requirement for students. Course lectures will be delivered to students on DVD and material will be discussed and enhanced through virtual classrooms online. Class assignments will be submitted online as well.

The new degree is targeted primarily at Hispanic pastors and church leaders serving Spanish-speaking congregations across the United States. The undergraduate offering will complement the graduate-level courses Southern has offered in Spanish for the past three years.
