It offers a theological enrichment and complement to a student’s BC education, 通过以下要求:

  1. 神学 Core (2 courses; 6 credits)
  2. 主要的s Course: THEO2001 Tradition and Traditions (1 course; 3 credits)
  3. 主要的s Course: THEO2002 Trajectories in Contemporary 神学 (1 course; 3 credits)

扩展神学专业

The 扩展神学专业 (36 hours) is designed for students with an interest in further study of theology or related fields. 既有结构又有全面, it provides an integrated introduction to the discipline and a broad foundation for further study. With its distribution requirements across all theological areas, it exposes students to the entire breadth of the theological discipline. 学分增加，论文可选, it is both capacious enough for students to focus on a particular sub-discipline as well as to demonstrate theological excellence.
