Pre-Professional Programs
Pre-Seminary
Advisor: Stewart Kelly
The suggested curricula for pre seminary students follows closely the curricula prepared by the American Association of Theological Schools. Such preparation should include an adequate back ground in English language and literature, history, philosophy, and at least one of the natural sciences. There should be proficiency in at least one foreign language. Additional courses are recommended in the areas of humanities and social sciences. A broad background in history, literature, and culture is recommended before theology and religion courses are attempted.
The student interested in more specialized areas may contact the chairperson of the Division of Social Science for a more detailed program.
