Courses
The Catholic Biblical School is split into 12 10-week modules over 4 years. Classes
begin in early September and end in May each year. The first two years of the CBS
program, focus on the biblical books that form the foundation of both the Old and
New Testaments. Years three and four of the program cover the remaining books of the
bible, emphasizing their contexts and principle themes. While starting at the beginning
of the four year cycle is encouraged, a student can join the program at any point.
Students completing the requirements of all four years of the Catholic Biblical School
program will receive a Certificate of Advanced Biblical Studies from the School of
Ministry.
