The Theological Studies program draws on the college’s academic strengths in theology, biblical studies, and church history, to foster and sustain the academic study of the beliefs and practices of Christianity, and particularly the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition. Students may also draw on the college’s distinctive teaching and research areas of music and peace.
