The Course Site is organized by member school and also by "BTI Category" (subject area). To use this guide best, it is important to note that we collapsed some categories together that we recognize are academically distinct. For example, while Practical Theology and Pastoral Care and Counseling are distinct fields, the shared applied nature of their content combines them for the purposes of this catalog.

1. Scripture & Biblical Studies: Includes courses in all sacred texts, e.g. the Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament, New Testament, and the Qur’anic Scriptures.
