The Bachelor of Divinity introduces graduate students, in a systematic manner, to the classical discipline of theology, as a means of preparing men and women for well-informed participation in the life of the church and, if students so choose, for ministry in one or more areas of pastoral practice.
The course includes studies in the Bible, theology, and ministry and practice, and may include supervised practice-based learning, where appropriate.
See the ACT website for the full list of course learning outcomes.
Further study pathways could include Grad Cert Div; Grad Dip Div; MTS (with advanced standing); BMin (Hons) or BTh (Hons) (assuming the required GPA is achieved)
The Bachelor of Divinity has been devised for men and women who have already completed a degree in another discipline but do not want to study at graduate/masters level. Morling is the accrediting college for Baptist ministers in NSW and ACT, and the Bachelor of Divinity is recommended for those who wish to become an accredited Baptist Pastor
