The Southeastern University Master of Arts in Biblical Studies provides academic work in biblical studies for teaching, research, or ministry and includes studies in an advanced biblical language (Greek or Hebrew).

Because Pentecostals historically have contended that the foundation for ministry is biblical literacy, this degree provides a standard for a Pentecostal institution in the forefront of theological education. This is an avenue for students to pursue a PhD in biblical studies. It is also an appropriate degree to prepare for teaching at the undergraduate level.
