Associate of Arts in Religion

What Will You Study in Our A.A. in Religion?

Through Liberty’s A.A. in Religion, you will be mentored by professors who will equip you with the tools needed to dig deeper into Scripture and grow in your faith. Before you can effectively minister to others, you must first develop your own spiritual life. Each professor strives to facilitate spiritual growth through class devotions, prayer requests, and personal interaction. You may also be interested in exploring our bachelor’s degrees in religion, biblical and educational studies, or Christian leadership and management.

Throughout your degree, you will:

• Develop skills to practice a methodical approach to understanding Scripture.
• Analyze and discuss the Book of Genesis through creation studies.
• Learn the skills needed for global ministry engagement.
• Gain an understanding of the relationship between biblical theology and current theological issues.
