More About Bible, Religion, & Philosophy
Major in Bible, Religion, & Philosophy / Minor in Bible, Religion, & Philosophy

This major will be of particular value to students contemplating either graduate study in Bible, religion or theology, or a calling in Christian ministry, and can also provide a strong foundation for active participation in congregational life no matter a student’s future occupation. The minor in Bible and religion contains the core of the major in order to provide students with a strong foundation to complement their study of other traditions and for faith development and service to the church. Students take courses in both Testaments, Christian thought and ethics.

Major in Youth Ministry / Minor in Youth Ministry

The youth ministry major concentration and minor provide students with theory and skills for working with young people, within the broader theological context in which to ground current or future congregational or ministry work. More information about youth ministry at Goshen.
