Why Interdisciplinary Studies?

Today’s college graduates are more likely to work in multiple fields and hold a variety of jobs. This shift necessitates that college students possess a broad skill set and a high level of adaptability. Interdisciplinary Studies is a program that allows students to study two or more academic disciplines under one degree⁠—taking the knowledge of one discipline and applying it to another for a broader perspective. This puts the student in charge of their learning to fulfill their plans for a future career and makes them more marketable in the workforce.

You’re equipped with a wide range of knowledge as well as the critical and analytical skills needed to be successful in the workforce. You’ll be empowered to blend courses from multiple disciplines, providing you with boundless opportunities to explore and discover what inspires you.

Campus Community

Community is about more than simply taking classes together. It's more than having a similar experience. Community is powerful, instructive, encouraging, and biblical. And at 91Թ, community is intentional. It's attended to closely as an outworking of the University’s biblical commitment and understanding that in Christ, we are one.

Affordability

There's quite a bit of talk these days about the cost of higher education and the question of value. Many assume that you can't have both value and affordability, so they settle for lesser options or assume that the costliest options must have the most value. But when 91Թ talks about walking a different path, value is no exception. It's possible to get a college education that is both affordable and valuable.

Why Biblical Studies (AA)?

Building a foundation of understanding in multiple disciplines—especially Bible and theology— an associate’s degree is a great educational route for (1) those who are still deciding what is the correct higher education path for them or (2) those who know what they want to do and know they don’t need a four-year degree to get there. Of course, one of the best things about an associate’s degree is that it is low-cost compared to a four-year program and it results in an in-hand diploma after two years of study. An associate’s degree in biblical studies, specifically, offers students tools for biblical literacy and skills for use in and beyond Christian circles, equipping students to confidently stand on biblical truth in the midst of secular society.
