Successful completion of BTBL- 3510 Intermediate Greek will satisfy the New Testament Greek language course prerequisite (3hrs) required for the Advanced M.Div. program. 1 Any upper level OT course can count toward the prerequisite requirement; course(s) listed is the recommended pathway. 2 Any upper level NT course can count toward the prerequisite requirement; course(s) listed is the recommended pathway. Note: The pathway courses indicated above would give the student 30 hours of undergraduate work recognized by the Advanced M.Div. program, plus 6 hours of additional graduate credit (potentially resulting in 55 hours of graduate course work remaining). The 61 hr Advanced M.Div. is based upon being able to recognize the total amount of the undergraduate prerequisites for the program (30 hrs). Students who are not accepted into the graduate program or who decide not to continue to completion of the Advanced Master of Divinity program should switch to the regular Biology (B.A.) major to complete the undergraduate degree. The Advanced Master of Divinity curriculum is described in the graduate catalog and available online at cedarville.edu/gradcatalog. 2019–20 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 207 Department of Science and Mathematics Biology — Bachelor of Arts
