The Religion Division offers undergraduate and
graduate programs in the study of religion.
The
Religion Division features a Religion Major which requires core courses
fundamental to understanding religious studies as well as choices
which enable a degree of specialization. The major prepares students
for ministries in religious bodies, service and voluntary
organizations, and graduate studies in religion. Students may
also earn a Minor in Religion or may choose to earn a
Vocational Ministry Minor, a new program that allows students the
opportunity to participate in some hands-on ministry and education.
The Master of Science in Ministry prepares
students for various ministries in the churches. The curriculum
designates specific courses, yet is broad enough to provide the
basic insights necessary for participation in both the thought and
life of the church. The M.S. is suitable for those who have a
limited time for graduate study, or for persons who wish basic
training for ministry.
The Master of Arts in Religion program is
offered in four specializations: Old Testament, New Testament,
church history, and Christian thought. These programs are designed
for those who wish to pursue doctoral degrees or who seek teaching
positions in public and private schools.
The Master of Divinity degree is a three-year
professional program designed to prepare recipients for various
ministries in the church, and to provide the required educational
experiences for those applying for D.Min. and Ph.D. programs. The
curriculum provides insight into all the religious disciplines as a
backdrop for varied ministries or later research specializations.
