The Bible & religion degree provides a solid Biblical and theological foundation for a wide variety of ministries. The major is molded around a framework of core Biblical and theological courses upon which students can create individualized areas of focus, depending upon how God has called the student.

Bible & Religion majors can choose between two concentrations:  biblical studies or theological and religious studies. Additionally, Bible & Religion majors are encouraged to take on optional minors that may help clarify vocational choices. For example:

• Psychology minor (leading to counseling ministry)

• English minor (leading to a career in Christian publishing)

• Music minor (leading to music ministry)

• Recreation Management minor (leading to camping ministry)

• Theatre/Communication minor (leading to  a career in Christian media)

• Business minor (leading to a career in various para-church organizations)

• History minor (leading to law school)

• Missions minor (leading to Christian missions)

• Youth ministries minor (leading to youth ministries)

Students who do not wish to minor in any of these areas have the option to take additional classes in Biblical studies, theological studies, the history of Christianity, religious studies and Biblical languages.

Bible and Religion majors may acquire experience through field work which enable students to lead others in the interpretation of the Bible through preaching, teaching assignments, or leading Bible studies.

Students have the opportunity to study in Israel at the Jerusalem University College during their junior or senior year. Students may continue graduate study in the Graduate School of Christian Ministries at Huntington University.
