GUIDING STUDENTS STEPS TO FULLFILL A LIFELONG JOURNEY


Thank you for your interest in our Bachelors of Arts in Christian Ministry Degree for adult learners. The rich history of Saint Augustine's College began in 1867 with the initial mandate to train former slaves as schoolteachers and ministers of the Gospel. After all these years, it is still the desire of many at this institution to educate young minds and minister to troubled souls.

This degree program is developed for a very specific target audience; pastors or church ministers who have yet to complete their Bachelor of Arts Degree. We have done our best to keep the costs as low as possible for 18 credit hours per semester of study. We are also waiving the traditional fees. We have developed a creative teaching format whereby students will have class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. -10 p.m. and will complete two courses every five weeks. In a sixteen-week semester you will have completed six courses or eighteen credit hours.

What is the value of completing this degree at Saint Augustine's College? There are several reasons why this will be a wonderful achievement:

  • Saint Augustine's College is a fully accredited institution with SACS so your degree is of the highest caliber.
  • The focus of the main courses is to practically enrich a person's ministry with courses that will help you to more effectively study, preach, and teach the Bible, as well as develop leadership, counseling, and administrative skills.
  • The adjunct faculty members have been recruited to teach in this program are highly qualified by virtue of their fine academic training at divinity schools such as Duke, Southeastern, Shaw, and Saint Andrews in Scotland.
  • Our adjunct faculty members are mainly practitioner-professors who are actively involved in a variety of ministry roles. Including, pastors of outstanding local churches and many are alumni of Saint Augustine's College.
  • If, you decide after the completion of this degree that you would like to go on for a masters degree at a divinity school you will be building on a very strong foundation.
