provides a broad, academic foundation in theology, history, and biblical studies, often including language study, making it ideal for those pursuing further graduate education or careers requiring critical thinking and writing skills

Bachelor's programs in theology and ministry typically require a core curriculum of general education courses (like math, science, and English), a substantial set of major-specific classes in subjects such as biblical studies, church history, and theology, and a selection of electives or a defined concentration for specialization. Additionally, many programs, particularly those focused on ministry practice, incorporate mandatory internship or practicum hours to provide hands-on experience, and all degrees require students to maintain a minimum GPA throughout their studies to graduate.
