Bachelor of Arts

Religious Studies

Objective:

This major focuses on the study of religion more generally, rather than on vocational ministry (including its practices).  Thus, this major is for those interested in the integration of religion with other academic/vocational disciplines, those interested in the study of religion without a distinct call to vocational ministry, those called into different forms of Christian ministry but also desirous to pursue other academic/vocational studies at the undergraduate level, and others.  However, this major (contrasted with the Christian Ministry and Youth Ministry majors) does not complete the educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.
