Theology
This major provides students with an opportunity to study deeply in theology, as well as to take electives in related fields in order to develop a solid liberal arts foundation. Students in this major take many of the same courses as the pastoral studies students. They won't be required to study Hebrew and Greek, but otherwise they have ample opportunity to explore the biblical, historical, systematic, and practical dimensions of theology.
With a bachelor's degree in theology, graduates of this program will have a good rounded education for entering various career paths. Or, they are well prepared to continue on toward graduate studies in theology, with the goal of becoming teachers of theology. There is also room for taking interdisciplinary elective courses in their fields of interest. Theology majors may, for example, pursue extra courses in the Humanities or in English literature, to broaden their liberal arts foundations while developing their expertise in theology.
If a student isn't sure about studying for the ministry, but wants to focus on theology, this particular program will provide theological challenge and academic freedom for students to pursue their sense of calling.
