2 Years On Campus Masters Program

Biola University

Program Overview

The purpose of the M.A. in Linguistics and Biblical Languages is to meet the needs of agencies involved in Bible translation, such as SIL International, for Christians who are well-trained in biblical languages and exegetical knowledge. While the M.A. in Applied Linguistics provides broad perspectives on issues such as translation, literacy, orthography, and language planning, the M.A. in Linguistics and Biblical Languages has a more specific focus on linguistics, exegesis and biblical languages. Students who complete the M.A. in Linguistics and Biblical Languages program will be able to accurately analyze either Hebrew or Greek, understand the relevant historical and cultural background, exegete the Scriptures, and apply sound linguistic and biblical principles in the translation of the Scriptures.
