CHURCH AND MINISTRY

The church and ministry leadership major is based in the liberal arts, incorporates significant field experience, and draws on the resources of the Chicago area churches and parachurch agencies, preparing students to be of immediate service to churches and Christian agencies locally and beyond.

Requirements for the church and ministry leadership major include courses to satisfy the requirements of a minor in theology. Due to program overlap, students who complete the church and ministry leadership major must also complete a second minor program. Sociology, psychology, or communication arts are recommended areas for the second minor. Students who double major in church ministry leadership and theology, must complete the field education in church ministry and leadership. Students meet the oral communication requirement of general education by taking Communication Arts 101. The capstone requirement is met through Senior Seminar 401. The field education requirement is met through a required internship.
