Undergraduate Majors
The STM offers several majors for undergraduate students who sense a calling to various types of vocational ministry or who desire a rigorous theological education as part of their preparation for other occupations.
School Details

Adult Studies Programs
The School of Adult and Professional Studies offers a 60-hour Associate of Science in Professional Studies (ASPS) with a concentration in Christian Leadership that is designed for adult learners who are over 24 years of age, feel called to pursue a basic theological education, and have not previously earned a bachelor’s degree. The ASPS is primarily designed for laypersons or bi-vocational ministers who serve in their local churches or with parachurch ministries.
The ASPS provides a robust biblical and theological foundation for students interested in earning a Bachelor of Science in Christian Leadership (BSCL), a program that is designed for bi-vocational pastors, church staff members or laypersons looking to finish their bachelor’s degree and gain a solid, theological foundation for ministry.
