MODERN CHURCH HISTORY: Those transferring CH 506 from another seminary must take CH 710 to obtain denominational distinctives unless this requirement has already been met. THESIS COURSE SEQUENCE: Thesis First Draft will be taken at the comple­ tion of 64 units , and Thesis Final Draft at the completion of 80 units. Neither is applicable toward graduation unless both have been completed. PRACTICAL THEOLOGY ALTERNATIVE: For students anticipating a career teaching in higher education, the courses PT 701, PT 704, PT 791, PT 792 may be replaced by electives which fit more closely with their vocational objec­ tives, in this manner: 1) either PT 701 or PT 704 (not both) may be replaced by electives in Practical Theology or Christian Education; 2) PT 791 and PT 792 may be replaced by CE 791 and CE 792. For either type of substitution. a written petition is necessary, approved by the faculty advisor and filed with the registrar. BIBLE EXPOSITION ALTERNATIVE: For one of the three required Bible Exposition courses (excluding BE 505) the student may substitute four units of Greek or Hebrew exegesis electives. MASTER OF DIVINITY CURRICULA FOR MAJORS IN MISSIONS Two biblical languages are required: Greek and Hebrew . Hebrew

is scheduled first, but Greek may be taken first if l) the student qualifies to enter directly into NT 505, or 2) beginning Greek is taken in the summer prior to enrollment in the first fall semester, or 3) the student plans to extend the program beyond three years .

GREEK: NT 505 (fall) and NT 506 (spring) (4 units each) are required beyond beginning Greek. A qualifying examination is available to all interested students. Those who pass the examina­ tion may enroll directly in NT 505, and the rest must take NT 501 and NT 502 (two units each) as a prerequisite to NT 505. HEBREW: OT 603 (fall) and OT 604 (spring) (four units each) are required. A qualifying examination is available to interested students. Those who pass the examination may take OT 604, plus four units of Hebrew electives instead of OT 603. For students who major in missions the final four units of one language may be replaced by electives if desired.
