Doctor of Biblical Studies Program (DBS.)
Doctor of Biblical Studies (DBS) – 48-Credit Hour Program
This 48-credit hour program leads to a Doctor of Biblical Studies (DBS) degree and does not require a dissertation.
The Doctor of Biblical Studies (DBS) program is designed to equip candidates with advanced biblical knowledge and competencies, particularly for those involved in vocational Christian ministry or counseling. Cornerstone Christian University (CCU) emphasizes practical understanding and application of biblical principles, rather than focusing solely on the degree itself. CCU maintains slightly higher standards than comparable institutions, without additional costs. From your first course through to graduation, your studies will be biblically oriented and intellectually stimulating, leaving you with a deep sense of accomplishment and pride in your education and degree.
