Religion Minor
Pursuing a minor in Religion provides an enriching and personally fulfilling academic journey. This path involves a deep dive into prophetic literature, fostering critical thinking and analytical skills. Furthermore, it encourages students to explore Christian doctrines, cultivating a strong theological foundation
Urban Ministry Minor
Students with an academic foundation in urban ministry can engage in impactful endeavors to enhance the quality of life within their local communities. You can spread the love of Christ throughout urban and inner-city neighborhoods by seeking ministerial roles within urban churches or suburban churches with urban outreach initiatives.
Philosophy Minor
Philosophy teaches us to thoroughly examine all our beliefs, to see how they are grounded and fit together. By studying and discussing how others have applied themselves to the great questions of life — from science to ethics, from politics to religion — we can re-evaluate our own beliefs and rethink our priorities.
Since philosophy uses the tools of “critical thinking” — analysis and synthesis, pulling apart and putting together — the Philosophy minor is particularly recommended for pre-law students. And since philosophy examines the basis of faith and delves deeply into the methods used by great thinkers of the past, it is also highly recommended for students majoring in religion and the humanities.
