The theology program seeks to emphasize both biblical studies and systematic historical theology.
Students take courses that deal with questions regarding the nature and history of the Scriptures,
central themes from biblical and systematic theology, and practices that cultivate biblical
interpretation and theological thinking.
The theology major prepares students for graduate school and a wide range of vocations in
churches, non-profit organizations, schools, and mission agencies. The theology major is
attractive as a second major since it cultivates the practices necessary for the development of a
Christian perspective in other academic and vocational areas. The theology minor is offered for
students who want to enrich their educational experience by its study, especially for those who
plan to teach Bible courses in Christian schools.
Students fulfill the oral communication requirement of general education by taking Communication
Arts 101; field education is met through Theology 400; the capstone requirement is met through
Theology 401. A one-year study of Greek is recommended to better prepare the student to study
and understand the New Testament in its original language.
Students who double-major in Theology and Church and Ministry Leadership should take the
Field Education in the Church and Ministry Leadership major.
