The IPS Scripture School is intended for anyone who just wants to learn the Scriptures in a comprehensive way and then apply it to their family and work lives. Our goal is to help bring students into a closer relationship with God’s revealed Word, empowering them to respond to that word in their personal and family lives. The ultimate goal is transformed lives in response to the love of God.

Basic Biblical Studies: The first six units (two years) focus on methods of biblical study and prayer with the Bible. It includes both the study of the Old and New Testaments. Students who fulfill the requirements of six units of study receive a Certificate of Basic Biblical Studies from Loyola’s Institute of Pastoral Studies.

Advanced Biblical Studies: The remaining two years (an additional six units) delve more deeply into the Old and New Testaments, covering the remaining books in the Bible. Students who complete this phase receive a Certificate of Advanced Biblical Studies from the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago.

Course Fees for both certificate and audit study options: $175.00 for each ten week unit; OR $475.00 for the whole year (all three units!)
