度计划

The SBU Advantage

While many schools offer degrees in fields such as business, education and communications, there are few places like SBU where you can receive career preparation in your discipline while also receiving theological and ministry training.

Participate in the “4+1” program and earn a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry in one year of full-time study after finishing undergraduate work.

Seminaries accept students with a variety of academic backgrounds. This major allows you to study in another discipline while also taking courses that will prepare you for further study in a seminary setting.

信仰 Integration

The heart of the Christian Studies degree is the integration of the Christian faith and academic discipline. When you add a Christian Studies major to your academic career as a second major, you will gain knowledge about Biblical studies and Christian service and will be challenged to consider how you can use that knowledge to be a more effective servant leader in your chosen vocation.
