School of Theology and Missions at Union

Major in Theology and Missions with Discipline-Specific Honors

The Honors Program in the School of Theology and Missions is intended to offer the student an opportunity to establish a deeper and richer understanding of the theological disciplines (e.g., biblical studies, biblical languages, theology, philosophy, and ministry preparation) than is typically gained in the undergraduate curriculum of the School of Theology and Missions.

Twelve hours of honors credit must be earned in Theology and Missions for the student to graduate with honors in Theology and Missions. As part of their 12 hours of honors coursework, students are required to take CHR 498 Senior Seminar for 3 hours credit and to contract for honors in three upper-level CHR/GRK/HBR/PHL electives (9 hrs. credit total). Students will choose which courses to contract for honors in consultation with their thesis advisor, giving consideration to how they might shape their contract in order to contribute to their thesis research. Students will complete their honors thesis while enrolled in CHR 498.
