Bachelor of Theology
The Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.) degree is an undergraduate degree in theology, which qualifies one to serve as a pastor or missionary within the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. Undoubtedly, other church bodies would also recognize this degree as preparation for ministry. The B.Th. is built upon one or two years of general education courses on the collegiate level. Students pursuing this degree at the Lutheran Brethren Seminary mainly follow the M. Div. track for their theological studies. The primary differences between the two consist in the writing and testing requirements being aimed at a collegiate level in the B.Th. General Education Requirements for the Bachelor of theology
