Welcome from the Dean,
Monte Cox

Welcome to Harding University's College of Bible and Religion. Our mission as a college is to equip students to know, live and share God's Word and to understand, engage and serve God's world.  We take that task seriously, regardless of a student's academic major. Staffed by thirty-three full-time faculty and five missionaries-in-residence, the College of Bible and Religion teaches the Bible and Bible-related courses to all full-time Harding students every semester of their university's attendance. In addition, the College of Bible and Religion provides specialized instruction for individuals who choose to major in one of our several areas of study.

Undergraduate Bible Degrees
The College offers Undergraduate Bible Degrees leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) in Bible and Religion, Biblical Languages, Missions, Religious Education, and Youth and Family Ministry. A student majoring in another school or college of the University may also earn a second degree from the College of Bible and Religion in Vocational Ministry.
