PROGRAMS OF STUDY

Below you will find a basic division of the course requirements for the undergraduate programs at Leland. The many options within their subdivisions make it difficult to list particular courses here. For example, in some programs, courses are mandatory while in others they are not; the student may have the option to choose one course over another depending upon their own particular interests. Further, there are courses open only to men, others only to women; in a few cases, a course is open only to ministerial students. Many courses have prerequisites, require a certain GPA, or the approval of the Dean.

We hope in the near future to have all the courses listed. For more information contact the school.

BACHELOR OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES

The 18 plus quarter hours of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin courses are substituted by other Biblical studies more suited to the student’s interests.
