The College of Bible and Ministry at Harding University seeks to lead all students to know, live and share God’s Word and to understand, love and serve God’s world through and beyond their chosen vocation.
Bible major transfer policies: Students who transfer from other colleges or universities and who major in Bible are required to take 10 upper-level hours in Bible at Harding. Six of these must be in the Old and New Testament divisions and the remaining four distributed according to the recommendation of the dean.
Schools of preaching: Students wishing to transfer from schools of preaching and/or graduates from two-year schools of preaching who enter Harding may apply for up to 40 hours of credit in Bible, biblical languages and missions courses. The process for validating the transferred credit follows University policies found in the Course Policies section.
Bible and Ministry Core*
All first majors in the College of Bible and Ministry share a uniform core of classes that serve as foundational to all future ministry pursuits. The purpose of the core is to equip all majors with basic tools and knowledge for ministry. The College of Bible and Ministry core consists of:
Bible and Ministry Core
*The core does not apply to Leadership and Ministry Second Majors or BMIN.
Special Notes for Majors in the College of Bible and Ministry
- Hours in Bible required as part of the Liberal Arts component of the degree are included in the respective majors in the College of Bible and Ministry.
- Majors are encouraged to take courses in the College of Bible and Ministry with variable credit for 2 hours so that more courses may be taken unless required otherwise by the program of study.
- Biblical language courses may satisfy the equivalent textual study. Contact the College of Bible and Ministry for additional information.
- Unless an additional Bible major is sought, only 12 hours above the minimum for the major can be applied toward the 128 hours for graduation, though students may elect to take more than these 12 hours.
- Bible majors are expected to take BMIS 280 The World Christian to fulfill 3 hours of Global Perspectives. Bible and Missions majors must take BMIS 386 Missionary Anthropology instead of BMIS 280. BMIS 280 is included as one of the requirements for the Bible and Preaching major.
The Center for Advanced Ministry (CAMT) training offers an accelerated program within the College of Bible and Ministry that provides ministry training for nontraditional students (age 24 and older), leading to a Bachelor of Ministry degree .
The CAMT baccalaureate program is a two-year to three-year cohort experience depending on the student’s prior university-level preparation. Students must meet all admission requirements to Harding and CAMT. They must pass all courses in the BMIN curriculum and the specified Liberal Arts courses at the required standards outlined below. The student must also meet all of Harding’s graduation requirements. Students take one or two classes each semester that are exclusive to students in the program. Students participate in a daily chapel program together and are paired with mentors in local congregations for a practical ministry apprentice program.
Provisional admission is granted to students who have little or no prior university-level coursework. Full acceptance is granted after students have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours (either in-residence hours earned at Harding and/or transfer hours), 22 credit hours of which must be general education courses from the liberal arts program , including 6 hours of English Composition.
