Degree Overview

It’s about perspectives: The Bachelor of Arts in Theology is a broad-basis degree program that prepares students as future teachers, satisfies career options and is excellent preparation for students interested in continuing their education at the graduate level.

Courses offer in-depth studies in areas such as biblical studies, systematic theology, historical theology, Christian education and Christianity in society.

Theology coursework begins with introductory study of the Old Testament, the New Testament and Lutheran theology.

Once you complete your introductory courses in theology, you may then take upper-level offerings. These include specialized courses in the Bible, advanced courses in Church history and additional courses in Christian thought. Concordia-Chicago also has introductory and intermediate courses in Biblical Greek and Hebrew. Those allow you to read the Christian scriptures in their original language.

You may also opt to minor in theology. This is a great complement to the many programs offered at CUC, including philosophy, history, theatre, communication and political science.
