Majors

Because we value biblical education so highly, all students in four-year bachelor programs earn a major in Biblical Studies. Students may also choose to earn a second major (eight options).

 

Emphasis Options

Students may take an emphasis in addition to
their chosen Bachelor of Arts/Science major.

The purpose of an emphasis is to provide students
with foundational courses in another area of ministry.
The emphasis will consist of four to five courses
totaling 10‑11 credits. Emphasis options are
available in the following ministry programs:
Children’s Ministry, Intercultural Studies,
Pastoral Ministry, Youth Ministry.

Emphasis courses already required in the chosen
major will be replaced by substitute courses.
These will be determined by the program director.
Students should declare their emphasis during
their sophomore year.
