Degree Requirements

Religion Major: Students who take a major in religion must earn the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. The religion major includes 30 hours of coursework in addition to the core curriculum courses. The following courses are required: REL 203, 204, 240, 303, 304, 320 or 420. Twelve additional hours must be taken from 400 level courses.

Students who major in religion are required to take a minor. A minor in any area within the arts, humanities, or sciences is recommended (i.e. philosophy, history, English, communication, theatre, Spanish, mathematics, biology, chemistry).

To fulfill language requirements, the student may elect any one of the following options: 1) 12 hours of Greek, 2) 12 hours of Hebrew, 3) six hours of Greek and six hours of Hebrew, or 4) 12 hours in a modern language (i.e. Spanish). Also, in fulfilling core requirements, students must take PHI 201, one psychology course, one course from sociology, political science, or economics, and six hours of literature with an ENG prefix (i.e. ENG 211-212).

Religion Minor: The religion minor includes 15 hours of coursework in addition to REL 101-102. The required courses for the religion minor are: REL 204, 240, 320 or 420, and six hours of upper-level religion courses.

Biblical Language Minor: The biblical language minor includes 15 hours of coursework in addition to GRK 201-202 and HEB 201-202. The required courses for the biblical language minor are: GRK 301, 302, HEB 301, 302, and one senior level GRK or HEB course.

Philosophy Minor: A philosophy minor is composed of 18 hours of coursework, including PHI 201, 250, 401, 450, and six additional hours in philosophy.

As the basis for all disciplines of investigation and research, philosophy orients the student to critical and logical thinking, reflective thought, and the development of philosophical issues, personalities, and schools. As the foundation of the liberal arts, philosophy is ideal for students seeking a minor to complement their major areas of study either in the arts, humanities, sciences, and religion or the professional disciplines.
