The Bachelor of Theology (ThB) provides a broad biblical, theological and practical foundation for those planning to invest their lives in church or mission vocations which require academic credentials to gain ordination.

Admission Requirements
The degree is designed for persons who have undergraduate credit (60 hours) and who have a commendable Christian ministry experience. In addition to the general admission requirements identified in the Admissions section of this catalog, applicants for the Bachelor of Theology program must present a formal letter of reference from a church board documenting effective ministry experience and recommending the applicant for intensive study and for continuing ministry. This degree is not considered a traditional Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree and will not qualify the student to enter the Master of Arts program; it may or may not qualify one to enter such a program at another school.
