The Religion:


Worship Ministries Major/Minor seeks to prepare students to become leaders within the worship life of congregations. These studies link critical and academic studies with studies in the practice of ministry. Theological and ministry studies will be supplemented with guided cognate studies outside the Religion Department.

Requirements for Religion: Worship Ministries Major


In addition to fulfilling the basic requirements of the Religion Major,

students must complete two courses in the Ministry Core


and two courses in the Worship Ministries Concentration


Total of 39 hours


The student, in consulation with his/her adviser, will select courses for a total of 39 hours.

Cognate Studies - Worship Ministries


Those seeking a Worship Ministries Major must complete complementary studies outside the department. This requirement will usually be met by completing a minor (15-18 hours) in such areas as Communications, Theater, Art, or Music. Cognate studies should be pursued in consultation with the student’s adviser in Worship Ministries

In the case of those seeking to pursue cognate studies in Music, it is highly recommended that students should complete one of the suggested courses of study for a Major in Music, as outlined in the current conservatory Handbook. (While several music programs could be pursued, the BA in Music is an example of a program which offers considerable flexibility.) Those not wishing to pursue a Major in Music would need to complete the requirements for the Music Minor plus additional guided academic, ensemble, and applied studies for a minimum of 28 hours of study in the Conservatory.
