Accompanying this major is a newly developed program, The Center for Church Leadership that helps identify, recruit and train students who want to become church leaders.

The Religion Department offers students this major with options for focusing one’s studies in ministry. This curriculum aims at clarifying the issues and beliefs of Christian faith while preparing students for graduate work or for employment in a church setting.
