“Scripture is the foundation of the curriculum.”

Students are required to take a biblical Language (Greek or Hebrew) and introductory sequences in both the New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures. Other departments use Scripture to integrate their studies with biblical roots.

The academic curriculum seeks to balance two values: first, structured discipline in acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary for ordained ministry and second, freedom for students to pursue knowledge and skills in specific areas to which they feel called. There are a wide variety of courses available to students both on-campus and through the Washington Theological Consortium.
