Bachelor of Science in Ministries
You have a desire to be a leader who influences people for Christ, not only at church or on the mission field, but in whatever profession God has placed you. The FOCUS ministries degree is designed for students who want to develop a leadership approach deeply rooted in biblical principles. You’ll be prepared to minister in a variety of positions in churches and parachurch organizations, such as Christian schools and nonprofit organizations. This degree will effectively equip you for further study at seminary and other graduate education.

Including your previously earned college credits, the Bachelor of Science in Ministries is granted upon completion of 125 credits in core curriculum, major requirements, and electives. A minimum of 30 credits and half of your upper-level credits must be earned at Northwestern.
