We are a single purpose institution dedicated to preparing a ministry particularly for African-American churches, but also for the church in general. We offer only one major, Scriptural Studies. Our purpose is to prepare the ministry of the church. We recognize, however, that the ministry takes a wide variety of expression and so attempt to offer considerable flexibility in the exact parameters of the programs of individual students.
Each student will work with his advisor
in developing his program which will include a minimum of
128 or 129 semester hours of study. In general the courses
listed in the suggested programs of study will be included
