Interdisciplinary Studies Track
The Interdisciplinary Studies track is designed
to provide a more generalized ministry
preparation course of study for students
whose ministry goals are less settled or
incorporate elements of two or more of
the standard ministry tracks in the Th.M.
curriculum. Because the Interdisciplinary
Studies track requires a combination of
requirements from two different departments
plus a servant-leadership internship in an
area of intended ministry, the total hours
required for the track are 20 (two hours of
which are the internship). Students in the
Interdisciplinary Studies track may select a
wide variety of departmental combinations
under the following guidelines.
One of the Interdisciplinary Studies track
departments must be from one of the
following: Old Testament Studies, New
Testament Studies, Bible Exposition, or
Theological Studies; the second department
must be from one of the following: Pastoral
Ministries, Biblical Counseling, Christian
Education, or World Missions and Intercultural
Studies. Students will take a minimum
of nine credit hours in each of the two
departments selected as specified and in
consultation with their advisers.
