Studying

ABOUT THE BACHELOR OF ARTS

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree completion program is designed to prepare men and women for further academic study in a specialized field. The program is neither vocational nor pre-professional; rather, it is an academic degree designed to be a transitional program by which students may pursue further academic study at the graduate level. The Bachelor of Arts degree program consists of 120 credit hours. The student must possess a minimum of thirty credit hours in General Education to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree.

 

After completing the B.A. degree, you'll be able to:

  • Demonstrate a breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of the Bible, Christian doctrines and ministry principles

  • Apply concepts and principles drawn from a systematic and coherent body of knowledge in a wide range of day-to-day ministry situations,    demonstrating appropriate communication and problem-solving skills

The Bachelor of Ministry (B.Min.) degree program is designed to prepare men and women to serve in Christian Ministry. It includes systematic study, wide reading and practical ministry education.

The Bachelor of Ministry program consists of 120 credit hours, 30 of which must be from New Life Bible College & seminary.
