Bachelor
of Arts in Theology is a transformative academic journey that invites students
to explore the profound questions of existence, morality, and faith through the
lens of religious traditions and sacred texts. Rooted in intellectual rigor and
spiritual reflection, this degree offers a comprehensive study of theology,
encompassing biblical studies, systematic theology, ethics, church history, and
practical ministry. It is designed for individuals who seek not only to
understand religious beliefs but also to engage with them critically and
compassionately in today’s complex world. Students delve into the foundational
texts of Christianity and other world religions, learning to interpret
scripture with historical, linguistic, and philosophical insight. The program
encourages open dialogue, ethical reasoning, and cultural awareness, preparing
graduates to serve as thoughtful leaders in religious, educational, and social
contexts. Whether pursuing pastoral ministry, academic research, or community
outreach, theology students develop skills in communication, empathy, and
critical analysis that are applicable far beyond the pulpit.
