*Biblical or Theological Research. Students who need three credits to meet a requirement may be permitted to enroll in a Biblical or Theological Research course. These courses yield one hour of credit. They must be taken in conjunction with a regular lecture course in the required subject area (e.g., prophets, Bible history) that yields two credits. A Biblical or Theological research course consists of producing a research paper on an assigned topic related to the lecture course to which it is attached. The student is graded independently for the research component. The arrangements for these research courses can be made through the Chair of the Bible Division. Example: A person who needs three credits in Prophets takes Jeremiah (2) plus Biblical Research (1).
