Theology & Ministry, as follows:
The B.S. in Children's Ministry is designed for preparation for staff
ministry. The B.S. in Theology & Ministry is designed for students who
choose this option over the A.B. Theology & Ministry Concentration. Since
this program does not include a requirement in foreign language, approval must
be obtained from the Chair of the School by the end of the student's sophomore
year.
The Theology & Ministry Concentration for the B.S. degree is certified by
the Office of Ministry of the Church of the Nazarene as meeting all requirements
of the Ministerial Course of Study for the Elder Track.
All B.S. degree programs require three (3) hours of Philosophy beyond the
General Education Core Philosophy course: either History of Ancient and Medieval
Philosophy (PHIL 3103) or History of Modern Philosophy (PHIL
