Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.)

A Four Year Program (120 Credits)  Program Coordinator: Ritchie White

In our increasingly pluralistic world, churches need Christians who can think well and in a distinctively Christian way. If you are seeking to impact today’s diverse world for Christ, Prairie’s Bachelor of Theology program can provide you with the solid biblical foundation you will need to develop your skills and confidence for sound biblical interpretation.

This program is ideal for the student who is looking to go on to seminary to be a pastor, or to seminary or graduate school to get into an academic career in a theology-related area. It is also well suited for those who simply want "lots of Bible and theology" and would like to see that integrated into their Christian life and future vocation, whatever that may be (e.g. social work, journalism, politics, communications, or the arts).

Bachelor of Theology (CanIL - TWU / Wycliffe Partnership)

Program Overview 

Prairie’s Bachelor of Theology program will:

• Provide a broad knowledge of the Bible and Christian theology, with a knowledge deep enough to form a good foundation for further graduate study if desired.

• Equip you with skills in interpreting the Bible, formulating and evaluating theological ideas, and communicating these effectively.

• Build life values which are biblically and theologically informed, which can be expressed and applied in a variety of specific settings.

• In general, provide a biblical, Christ-centered world view, a broad knowledge base from which to engage diverse ideas, the ability to understand and sort out diverse, strongly held perspectives, and the ability to clearly articulate complex ideas.

Expanded Opportunities

Prairie’s Bachelor of Theology degree training will prepare you for graduate education in biblical studies, theology, or pastoral ministry, or lay the foundation for one of several avenues of ministry in pastoral, para-church, or cross-cultural work. Many students choose to pursue additional studies at the graduate level.
