Program details
Overview
Kingswood University's Associate of Arts in Christian Ministry is a two-year, on-campus undergraduate degree for students preparing for full-time ministry, including Wesleyan ministerial licensure, chaplaincy, or local and parachurch service. Coursework includes Spiritual Formation, Personal Evangelism, Introduction to Ministry, Management in Ministry, Wesleyan History and Discipline, and ministry electives, building a ministry philosophy grounded in core Christian doctrine. Students complete a supervised practicum placement that applies classroom learning to a real ministry setting. The programme leads to an Associate of Arts credential over four semesters of full-time study at Kingswood's New Brunswick campus, and is designed as an entry point into vocational ministry, with the option to continue into a bachelor's-level ministry or theology programme at Kingswood or a partner institution.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a high school diploma or equivalent and have achieved a minimum grade of 70% in college-preparatory level courses taken in grades 10, 11 or 12, including two English credits, two Math or Science credits, and two Social Science credits. Students who do not meet this academic background may still be admitted on a conditional basis, with their first semester serving as a qualifying semester.
