The Applied Associate of Arts in Theology degree program of study is a two-year, 71-semester hour program designed to develop servant-leaders equipped with a sound theological base for leadership, teaching, and ministry within a local church, primarily related to volunteer or bi-vocational service.

On successful completion of this program of study students:

• Can demonstrate the veracity and reliability of the Bible;

• Understand and can explain the New Testament and its implication and application;

• Demonstrate a working familiarity with the Hebrew Scriptures;

• Demonstrate and exemplify Christian leadership and values;

• Show understanding of the history and theology of the Church;

• Know and demonstrate understanding of biblical doctrines; and

• Demonstrate understanding of eschatological events and biblical prophecy.

This degree program requires successful completion of a minimum of 71 semester hours which includes coursework in general education and a departmental major in theology. To the right is a list of those courses that a student must complete for an AAA degree in Theology. 

Upon entering the AAA degree in Theology program a student is assigned an adviser who will be available for program advisement and career information. An adviser helps a student create a workable plan to meet his or her educational objectives within a reasonable time period (normally 2-7 years).

The Applied Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies normally requires two years of full-time study to complete (see Suggested Full-time Schedule). Students who plan to complete the degree on a part-time basis should seek to complete the degree program within not more than seven consecutive calendar years (see Suggested Part-time Schedule).

For the conferring of the degree students should apply for graduation in the semester they plan to graduate. Students may obtain an Application for Graduation from the Registrar. This application must be filed with the Registrar by the midterm for graduation that semester.
