Christian Worship - B.S.
Purpose
The Christian Worship major consists of a program of 44 credit hours. The core set of courses (28 credit hours) is taken in the School of Theology and Ministry; the remaining courses (16 credit hours) are taken within the division related to the student's choice of tracks (area of emphasis). Christian Worship majors choose from four possible tracks: music (Division of Music), theater ( and Theatre), media arts (Division of Communication and Theatre) or pastoral (School of Theology and Ministry). This program is designed to prepare a student to serve in a local church or other para-church ministry in worship leadership; it is also an excellent second major to enhance a student's training for other ministries. The completion of this major does not fulfill the educational requirements for ordination in The Wesleyan Church.
