Ministry Leadership, A.A.
The degree is created for students who are seeking a two-year degree in a local church setting and provides them with a solid ministerial foundation for future studies. This degree is designed to offer a robust general studies core to traditional-aged students while providing them with a cognate of Christian ministries-related courses and a series of church-based supervised ministry practicums. Graduates of this program would then be well-posed to move into another bachelor's degree at Bethe University or sister institutions.
