The
Associate in Theology degree program of study is a two-year, 66
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 should be able to:
• 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 64
semester hours. To the right is a list of those courses that a student
must complete for an Associate of Theology degree.
Upon entering the
Associate of Theology degree 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 Associate of Theology
degree 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 graduation, a student must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.0 in
the 64 semester hours applicable to the degree and a grade of C or
better in THL 111 and 112.
For the conferring of the certificate, students
should apply for graduation in the semester they plan to graduate.
Students may obtain an Application for Graduation from the
Registrar. An
Application for Graduation must be filed at the Registrar’s
Office by the mid-term point for graduation that semester.
