The BA in Religion is designed for students seeking a mastery of basic principles of biblical interpretation, theological reasoning, and practical ministry. This degree does not aim for intentional integration with a student’s primary major and related vocational goals but instead provides a broad-based immersion into Adventist theology and practice. As this degree fulfills part but not all of the seminary prerequisites, it is a good fit for non-traditional students as they can finish their remaining prerequisites in the seminary.
Students planning to enter the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary should select a major in theology. A religion major may be selected but must be supplemented with Seminary prerequisite courses. For entrance requirements, see the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary section of this bulletin.
Online Delivery: This degree is offered as an interactive online format (see School of Distance Education definitions ). This program does not require any time on campus.
