Pastoral Studies
The Pastoral Studies major is appropriate for students who are preparing to serve as pastors, evangelists or as members of a pastoral staff. It is especially suitable for those whose denominations accept the B.A. degree for ordination.
The major consists of the 18 unit Christian Ministries Core and 21-semester units in theoretical and applied studies. Principal aims are to provide each student with a broadly based Christian education in an environment that is conducive to social, intellectual and spiritual growth, and to prepare him/her for pastoral ministry or seminary studies.
