Program details

Overview

This online associate degree is intended for people who want a broader base for ministry than a certificate offers but cannot commit to a four-year bachelor's. It pairs chosen general education classes with scripture, theology, and ministry training. Students may be eligible for federal grants and loans, and can receive credit for practical experience and earlier college work. The program also works as a stepping stone into a ministry bachelor's degree or other programs later. Graduates aim to demonstrate biblical literacy, communicate the gospel clearly, and connect theological knowledge with daily practice. The coursework also suits people who want a ministry foundation while working in a non-ministry vocation. The format is flexible and asynchronous. Online admissions counselors can explain how prior college credit and practical experience may be evaluated.
