Welcome to the Exciting World of Advanced Theological Education!!
Piedmont Baptist Graduate School provides academic programs leading to the Master of Ministry, Master of Biblical Studies (Non-Language , Chaplaincy, and Ph.D. Preparation tracks), and Doctor of Philosophy (Old Testament, New Testament, and Theology concentrations). See the Downloads section below for specific requiremements for these programs.
There is a strong emphasis on
excellence in academics as well as biblical theology. Foundational to the
graduate studies is a literal hermeneutic which produces a dispensational
theology. Analytical courses are central to the study. Graduates are grounded in biblical theology and have outstanding skills for effective
ministry. Tuition is $295 per credit hour plus a $75 registration fee per semester.

Meet the Director
Hi! I am Barkev
Trachian. I have the privilege of serving as Director of the Graduate
School. I was born in Syria of Armenian missionary parents, and was saved at
the age of seven.
My educational preparation includes a B.A. in English from
the American University of Beirut, an M.A.
in Christian Education and a Ph.D.
in Church Administration from Bob Jones University. I have also completed
College Board Institutes at Harvard University and at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill.
It is a blessing to use
my experience as Christian school principal, college registrar and academic
dean, and seminary president to build and lead a vibrant graduate school for
the glory of God. Serving on the Tennessee Higher Education Commission
(recently as the chair) and on the TRACS Accreditation Commission has
given me further experience to represent our graduate school among
governmental and professional agencies.
My wife Polly currently serves in the Financial Assistance
Office. She graduated from Bob Jones University with a B.S. in Home
Economics Education and from Virginia Tech with an M.S. in Clothing, Textiles,
and Related Art. Her competence and godly life are great assets to my
ministry.
We are grateful for what God has already accomplished
through Piedmont and are excited about the new Ph.D. and Chaplaincy programs. The curriculum is set and most of
the faculty are in place. If God has called you to pursue advanced training, Piedmont Baptist Graduate School is the
key. We want to produce
leaders who have superior skills in research and communication, accurate
knowledge of the Word of God, and a burning passion to impact the world
for Christ. If you have not completed a graduate degree, this would be the time
to start.
