Christian Studies

Those interested in working as a minster or simply learning more about various Christian religious traditions should consider earning a degree in Christian studies, where they'll learn more about the history of Christianity, theology, basic Greek, and hermeneutics. In addition to ministry positions, many graduates of Christian studies degree programs find jobs teaching at colleges and universities or work for nonprofit organizations.

Many Christian colleges and other educational institutions are now offering bachelor's and graduate degree programs in Christian studies online. Those interested in working as ministers should inquire with their church whether college career ministry opportunities are available. Gaining practical experience teaching and leading study groups is great preparation for a Christian studies degree program.
