Bachelor of Science in Christian Studies Degree

Some of the topics covered in this program include biblical interpretation, Old and New Testament theology, and spiritual foundations for the Christian life. You’ll also explore important aspects of church ministries, including the biblical and theological underpinnings of discipleship and ways to foster spiritual development in your congregation.

From there, you can choose to study either the mission of the church or the history of doctrinal developmental within the Christian church. Your major foundational courses will explore topics such as apologetics, cultural engagement, the search for meaning, and intercultural communication. To round out the program, you will complete a capstone course designed to help you grapple with some of the most difficult questions in the Bible and theology. Your capstone will also help you apply your religious education to real-life ministry situations.

As a student in the Christian studies program, you will pursue 1 divinity minor in addition to your degree – and the credits from your minor can count toward the free elective section of your Christian studies degree. Completing a minor gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge and dive into a specific area that interests you. We offer many different divinity minors such as biblical studies, apologetics and cultural engagement, global studies, pastoral leadership, youth ministries, and more. After completing your divinity minor, you’ll still have room left for additional free elective courses – giving you the freedom to further your divinity studies or branch out into another area entirely!
