Courses
Online Bible courses, studied the way Scripture deserves.
Berean offers online Bible courses in Biblical Hebrew, Koine Greek, and biblical studies. Each one is eight weeks, taken with a small live cohort, designed by a Program Chair on our Academic Board and run by an instructor who works with you week to week. You take one course at a time, and you can sit in on any course free for a week before you decide.
Every course has a free week. No credit card. No auto-renew.
How Berean courses work
You never have to commit to a program to start. Most students begin with a single course and decide where to go from there.
Pick a course and sit in free
Spend a week in the cohort that's taking the course right now: that week's lessons, assignments, and classmates. No card.
Enroll in that one course
You start at week one with the next cohort and stay with it for eight weeks. The price is on the course page, with monthly payments if you want them.
Keep going if you want
Take the next course in the sequence, or count your completed courses toward a certificate.

2 coursesWhy study with Berean
Two instructors on every course
A Program Chair, a PhD on Berean's Academic Board, designs each course and is accountable for what you learn. A course instructor grades your work, answers your questions, and runs the course day to day. Meet the Academic Board.
A real cohort, not a video library
You start on a set date with a small group and work through the course together. People finish when others are working alongside them.
You see the price before you start
No sales calls, no surprise charges, and no enrollment in anything you didn't choose. Every course has a 14-day refund window.
Cost is not meant to stop you
Tuition waivers and grants cover up to the full cost for students who qualify, including pastors, lay scholars, and students of limited means. See scholarships and grants.
Bible courses with a certificate
Each course you complete is recorded toward a certificate program. You don't have to decide now. Many students start with one course and find, a few courses in, that they're most of the way to a certificate.

Questions about our online Bible courses
Can I try an online Bible course before paying?
Yes. You can sit in on any course's current cohort free for one week: that week's lessons, assignments, and discussion. No credit card is required and nothing renews. If you enroll, you start at week one with the next cohort.
Do your Bible courses come with a certificate?
Each completed course is recorded toward a certificate program. Berean Institutes is a non-degree-granting institution and does not award academic degrees or transferable credit.
Do I need any background to take a biblical studies course?
No. Beginner courses, including Biblical Hebrew I and Koine Greek I, start from the beginning and assume no prior study.
How much time does a course take each week?
Between 3 to 7 hours a week, depending on the course. Courses run eight weeks, and most students fit them around full-time work.
How much do the courses cost?
The price of each course is shown on its page. Monthly payments are available, every enrollment has a 14-day refund window, and tuition waivers and grants are available to students who qualify.
