Other programs related to our Ministry major:
Ministry Minor
Students who are majoring in another program may choose to take a Ministry minor in addition to their primary course of study. A minor normally consists of a minimum of 15 semester hours, 6 of which must be taken at the 300/400 level. Each academic school or department must approve the student and curriculum to be used in the completion of each minor for the Office of the Registrar to verify at the point of graduation.
Bible & Theology Major
While there are several significant overlaps with a Ministry major, our Bible & Theology degree puts an emphasis on the academic side of Christian studies. This unique calling is geared towards students who would prefer to apply themselves to a deeper understanding of scripture or teaching biblical truths as professors or teachers as opposed to pastoral leadership.
