Curricula
The curricula for all NBI academic programs are directly correlated with the overall purpose of the institution as outlined in the Academic Catalog. The Master of Divinity (MDiv) is designed to be the foundation upon which one’s Biblical knowledge and leadership grows.
The defined set of courses, along with the elective coursework, provides students with advanced knowledge in theology in preparation for leadership in ministry.
Each program is tailored to refine the knowledge and skills of each student, and NBI faculty/staff are committed to preparing all students to serve as God’s called and faithful followers (Rv 17:14).
