Theology Minor The goals of the Theology minor are to provide students 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, parachurch ministry, 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. No more than two Philosophy courses can count toward the minor (see the Philosophy minor, page 105, as an alternative). The Theology minor is open to any student not already majoring in Theology and Biblical Studies or Theology and Youth Ministry.
Biblical Studies Minor The Biblical Studies minor aims to provide students with deeper understanding of the Bible and its interpretation. Students will develop greater familiarity with the contents of the Bible and the world in which the writings that form the Bible were composed. They will develop familiarity with methods of exegesis (interpretation) and hermeneutics (application) and will grow in understanding of how the ancient scriptures inform theology and Christian living today. Vocational Applications: The Biblical Studies minor can be a foundation for graduate and professional training leading to
careers in pastoral ministry, Christian education, missionary service, campus ministry, institutional chaplaincy, parachurch ministry, and teaching. Requirements: In addition to meeting the regular degree requirements of the University (which include THE 140 and 240), the student must take five 3 s.h. courses from upper division Biblical Studies: THE 309, 310, 317, 318, 319, 351, 361 and 394; or four such courses plus THE 303. This minor is open to any student not already majoring in Theology and Biblical Studies or Theology and Youth Ministry.
Joint Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts between the University of Sioux Falls and Sioux Falls Seminary – The 3-2 Program The combined B.A./M.A. degree program offered by the University of Sioux Falls and Sioux Falls Seminary is known as the 3-2 Program because it involves three years of study at the University of Sioux Falls and two years of study at Sioux Falls Seminary. The 3-2 Program is an accelerated program for students of noteworthy ability. After three years (93 semester hours) in a carefully planned pretheological program that is broadly based in the liberal arts (see course requirements below), the student begins studies at the Seminary in the regular Master of Arts program. Upon completion of the student’s first year of seminary studies (31 semester hours applicable toward the M.A. in Christian Leadership degree, Youth Ministries Specialization), he or she receives a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Theology and Youth Ministry from the University of Sioux Falls. At the end of the fifth year, that is, upon completion of the remaining semester hours of required studies, he or she receives the Master of Arts in Christian Leadership degree from Sioux Falls Seminary. A student registering for the joint program must apply for preenrollment in the Seminary and must achieve a 3.25 cumulative GPA in his or her undergraduate coursework by the end of the three years at USF to remain in the program.
