Religion-Philosophy, B.A. degree

The Religion-Philosophy (RPH) major offers students a firm grounding in biblical studies, theology, and philosophy. The major is recommended for students whose goal is professional ministry or the teaching of religious studies or philosophy. It provides a solid basis for graduate study at a university or seminary. Students intending to seek ordination immediately after college or those planning to become involved in ministry while pursuing graduate education should also obtain a minor in ministry. The Religion-Philosophy major requires 39 semester hours including a 15 hour core in philosophy and theology, and 15 hours in Bible, plus course in the history of philosophy, church history and upper-division theology.
