Worship Arts - A.B.

The Worship Arts major is designed to prepare a student to lead music ministry in a local church.  Students will develop their musical proficiency through courses in the Division of Music and Theatre and will develop their pastoral competency through courses in the School of Theology and Ministry. The major includes the School of Theology and Ministry ministerial core and can be combined with the Pastoral Ministries second major to meet ordination requirements in The Wesleyan Church and meet advanced standing requirements for ministerial master’s programs.  The major can also be combined with additional music coursework to prepare for further academic study in music.
