Our ministry degrees are designed as career-learning programs which typically involve biblical and theological study, interpersonal communication practices, leadership development and organization strategy methods. Students seeking a degree in the field of ministry are often already working as lay workers in the church or para-church organizations and seek professional credentials and ordination. Our degree programs, which cover biblical topics, usually take between one and two years to complete.
