THEOLOGY

The theology program is characterized by an emphasis on biblical studies. Students who pursue this program take courses that deal with questions regarding the nature and history of the Scriptures, the key biblical ideas that are significant for a Christian perspective in other academic areas, and how to study the Bible. This approach incorporates elements of historical and systematic theology in the coursework. The department offers a theology major and minor.

Students fulfill the oral communication requirement of general education by taking Communication Arts 101; field education is met through Theology 400; the capstone requirement is met through Theology 401. A one-year study of Greek is recommended to better prepare the student to study and understand the New Testament in its original language.

The theology minor is offered for students who want to enrich their educational experience by its study, especially for those who plan to teach Bible courses in Christian schools.

Students who Double-major in theology should take the Field Education in the other major.
