Biblical and Ministry Studies
Equip yourself for ministry, Christian leadership and meaningful service
Integrate faith, learning and service as you prepare to contribute meaningfully to your community and the broader world.
As a Biblical and Ministries Studies major, you'll explore the historical, literary, theological and cultural dimensions of the Christian faith while developing skills in leadership, communication, critical thinking, ethical decision-making and ministry practice.
With a Biblical and Ministry Studies degree, you'll be prepared to lead and serve in a wide range of ministry and professional settings. Whether you're called to serve in a local church, campus ministry, educational institution, nonprofit or community organization, international missions, healthcare ministry, military-related ministry, or another service-focused profession, you'll graduate equipped to make a meaningful impact.
This program also provides an excellent foundation if you plan to continue your education through seminary or graduate study in theology, ministry, religious studies, history, counseling, nonprofit leadership, or other related fields.
