Bible & Ministry Program
Students focus their study in Bible more than with any other degree. Classes in introduction, content, and interpretation characterize this course of study and students take courses in Old Testament, New Testament, and biblical theology. Students also receive a solid core of general studies courses and have the opportunity to create their own curriculum in professional studies. Postgraduate options include bible, theology, and ministry programs in seminaries and universities. Career options include being a preacher, associate ministry, or teacher in a local church, a servant-leader in a parachurch ministry, and a lesson writer or editor.
