Theology Minor
Goals: The goals of the Theology minor are to provide students with
a broad understanding of theology in its biblical, historical,
theological and philosophical aspects and to present students with
the opportunity to develop a Christian worldview.
Vocational Applications: The Theology minor can be a foundation
for graduate and professional training leading to careers in pastoral
ministry, Christian education, missionary service, campus ministry,
institutional chaplaincy and teaching.
Requirements: In addition to meeting the regular degree
requirements of the University (which include THE 140 and 240),
the student must take at least 15 semester hours of study that include
at least one course in biblical studies, one course in historical studies,
and two courses in theological or philosophical studies or world
religions. The remaining three semester hours may be selected from
any other Theology or Philosophy courses.
Courses at North American Baptist Seminary
Upper division University students are able to participate in
classes at the North American Baptist Seminary. Courses can be
taken for credit with advisor approval and on a space-available basis
at the seminary.
Pre-Seminary Interdisciplinary
Students planning to enroll in an accredited theological seminary
upon graduation from the University of Sioux Falls may prepare for
such graduate work by pursuing any liberal arts major at the
University along with well-selected electives. Some students will opt
instead to construct an interdisciplinary major in consultation with
an advisor from the Theology & Philosophy faculty. (One of the
disciplines from which the interdisciplinary plan is constructed may
be Theology.) The requirements of the Pre-Seminary
Interdisciplinary major differ from other interdisciplinary majors
(described on pg. 69) only in the following ways:
• The interdisciplinary major constructed by the student will
entail 30 semester hours rather than 36.
• Students may opt for the Pre-Seminary Interdisciplinary
major without having achieved a 2.5 GPA.
• Beyond the courses required for the University’s liberal arts
core requirements, students will take
At least one more history course:

• Unless covered by the disciplines combined for the 30
semester hour interdisciplinary plan, additional courses
beyond the liberal arts core requirements are recommended
in the areas of Theology, English, and the Social Sciences.
