Bachelor of Theology

Course Content


The Bachelor of Theology allows a person to equip themselves with a deep understanding of the scriptures and the teaching and history of the church. It is particularly suited to those who may feel called to a teaching ministry within the church. The degree consists of 13 core subjects and 12 electives. The core subjects provide every student with an opportunity to explore Personal Formation for Ministry, Biblical Studies, and Theological Study. Depending upon which electives are chosen, a student can complete a major (8 subjects) or a minor (4 subjects) in Biblical Studies, Theology, or Church History. An intentional program of Spiritual Formation occurs throughout the program of study, encouraging students to see their Bachelor of Theology as not just a time of academic challenge but also a time of ongoing spiritual enrichment.
