Bible & religion department

In the Department of Bible & Religion at Huntington University, you will develop a better understanding of the Bible and of theological and religious thought. You will develop the skills necessary for interpretation of the Bible, to deepen your faith in God, and to prepare you for a more effective service to Christ.

Our department is molded around a framework of core biblical and theological courses upon which you can create an individualized area of focus, depending upon how God has called you:

• biblical studies 
• theological and religious studies 

A Flexible Degree

Additionally, you can pair your Bible & religion major with a minor in another discipline, opening up additional vocational choices:

• A psychology minor can lead to counseling ministry
• An English minor can lead to a career in Christian publishing
• A music minor can lead to music ministry
• A recreation management minor can lead to camping ministry
• A theatre or communication minor can lead to a career in Christian media
• A business minor can lead to a career in various para-church organizations
• A history minor can lead to law school 
• A missions minor can lead to Christian missions
• A youth ministries minor can lead to youth ministries

Experience Counts

Bible and Religion majors may acquire experience in leading others in the interpretation of the Bible through preaching, teaching assignments or leading Bible studies. Take a look at Huntington's internship programs.
