Bachelor of Theology

• AST now offers an undergraduate degree, the Bachelor of Theology (BTh). This degree is suitable for those who do not have a prior degree but have completed high school or equivalent.
• The Bachelor of Theology provides introductory studies to academic theology and the practice of ministry. After graduation, this can lead to a position in ministry, further studies, or employment in another sector, such as non-profits and charities.
• You may apply by completing the BTh Application Form and arranging for 3 letters of reference (Please ask your referees to use this form: BTh Letter of Reference ). 
• The completion of the BTh requires 30 credits (thirty courses or 90.0 credit hours); 25 of these credits will be completed at AST, and 5 will be completed at another institution by letter of permission. This requirement for courses outside of AST is so a student can access knowledge beyond the focus of theology. Students may be able to transfer undergraduate credits previously taken and not used in a degree.
  
• The BTh has two tracks: the General BTh Degree program track and the Specialized BTh Degree program track. The Specialized BTh is for those who wish to serve faith communities, social service agencies, non-profits, charities, and similar agencies or vocations.
• For additional information, please view the Academic Calendar 2023-2024.
