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.
