Certificate in Biblical Language (18 credits)

Anyone who is not enrolled in the Bachelor (Hons) program and wishes to gain proficiency in a biblical language (either Koine Greek, the language of the Christian New Testament or biblical Hebrew, the language of the Christian Old Testament) may earn a Certificate in Biblical Language through the Department of Religious Studies. This affords opportunities for students and others to study the Hebrew or Greek languages without the burden of pursuing a major in Christian Studies. This might be especially helpful for Postgraduate students who feel their Postgraduate research would be enriched through the acquisition of Hebrew or Greek or professors of religious studies who wish to expand their knowledge of the Bible. The Certificate consists of 6 courses (18 credits) in either the Hebrew or Greek language.
