The Pre-Ministry Program at Moravian

It is recommended that students preparing for Christian ministry use the Statement on Pre-Seminary Studies of the American Association of Theological Schools as a guide. Generally, any course leading the the bachelor's degree will satisfy the entrance requirements of theological schools. Some schools specify proficiency in Greek and/or Hebrew prior to admission. Students are advised to check this and other specific admission requirements of the seminary of their choice.

Recommendations and Guidelines

Consideration should be given to an interdepartmental major in religion and a related discipline or major in one of the following fields: classics, English, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, or sociology.

Several religious student organizations are prevelant on campus to provide pre-Ministry students with activites and opportunities. Catacombs meets Wednesday nights and shares music of Christian contemporary along with relfection and prayer. The Hillel Society is an international collegiate association which offers religious, cultural, educational, and social activities and programs for Jewish students and faculty. The Moravians at Moravian organization seeks to provide students from around the world a place for fun, fellowship, and support. The Newman Association aims to develop mature Christian leaders though the liturgy and sacraments and by encouraging students to integrate their faith with secular studies.
