In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the Colleges departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. The Department of Biblical History and Literature was created in 1912 and only lasted two years before its chairman (and sole faculty member), Andrew B. Christenson was called to serve as the president of Ricks Academy in Rexburg, Idaho, and the department was dissolved.
