REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE
ASSOCIATE OF BIBLICAL STUDIES (ABS) DEGREE

(66 Semester Units)

The GSST Associate of Biblical Studies (ABS) degree is designed to provide the successful candidate with the tools necessary for successful service in a myriad of Christian ministries. The ABS graduate will possess entry level skills which will enable that person to minister alongside more prepared individuals, yet the completion of the courses will provide the student with a much deeper and more personal understanding of the scriptures and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The inclusion of General Education courses will provide the student with the ability to compute, analyze, write successfully, develop analytical papers, and be knowledgeable about the world in which we live and minister.

With the exception of CC100 GSST ORIENTATION, there are no prerequisites for any course in the ABS degree program. All new and returning students are required to complete CC100. Required courses for this degree are listed below. Students may complete the required courses in any order or sequence.

The cost of GSST Undergraduate programs are some of the lowest in the nation. For detailed tuition payment plans, click here
