 Return to: Schools and Divisions
The College of Theology and Ministry offers a general interdisciplinary degree within the Department of Biblical and Theological Studies. The areas of concentration are designed around three minors of the student’s choosing. All three minors may be related to programs housed in the College of Theology and Ministry. However, it is possible to match a minor in the College of Theology and Ministry with one or two from another school or college. This program is particularly suited for two groups of students - those who have very clearly identified career goals which require preparation in multiple areas and those whose career goals are not well defined and want to maximize their opportunities in multiple areas. Students in either of these two groups may elect to focus more intently on a single area in a graduate program.

Modern Foreign Languages Requirement
All students must take two sequential courses of the same language at the appropriate level in order to fulfill the Modern Foreign Language requirement. See the placement charts below. Notice that the guidelines for Spanish are different from those for French and German. The different nature of language instruction and of student populations, both in high school and in college, necessitates different placement policies. A student may also satisfy the MFL requirement by passing a CLEP language exam at Level I (Beginning). Foreign nationals who have learned English as a foreign language are exempt from the requirement.
