Adolescent Ministries - B.S.
Purpose
The Adolescent Ministries major is designed for persons who wish to minister with students in youth centers, para-church ministries, school-based ministries, and local churches in a non-ordained capacity. Many men and women desiring to minister with youth may not seek ordination or even employment in a parish setting and therefore would benefit from a degree that is focused more selectively on practical ministry theory and skills. Persons wishing to work with youth primarily in a local church setting as an ordained minister should pursue the more specialized ordination track of the youth ministries degree.
General Education Requirements
Students in this major meet the general education requirements by taking BIL-101, BIL-102, (SOC-150, SOC-210 or SOC-225), PSY-150, INT-122, INT-222, and YTH-270.
