Bachelor of Arts | Traditional Program
The Bachelor of Arts is the degree that each four-year graduate of the College receives. Within the B.A., each student selects a major from among Business Organizational Leadership (Church Management Administration Concentration, General Business Concentration, Leadership Concentration, Social Media Management Concentration, or Sports Leadership Concentration), Ministry (Intercultural Studies Concentration, Pastoral Ministry Concentration, Women’s Ministry Concentration, Worship Ministry Concentration, or Youth Ministry Concentration), Elementary Education, Interdisciplinary Studies or Interdisciplinary Studies (English Education Concentration), Psychology, or Psychology (Counseling Concentration), and Theology. These majors provide thorough Biblical knowledge, advanced theological studies, and professional preparation for various facets of Christian ministry or preparation for further study.
If you are looking to earn your Associate of Arts before you decide which Bachelor of Arts you are interested in, you can review our Associate of Arts. We even offer 1-year intensive Certificate Programs for those who are seeking to learn more about God’s Word in a short timeframe.
Biblically Focused:
All Trinity College students graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree will receive a double major consisting of a Bible major along with their chosen major.
The Bible major includes at least 36 required credit hours in Bible which are built into every Trinity College of Florida Bachelor of Arts program. The Bible major is integrated into all Bachelor of Arts programs because the theology and content of the Bible is foundational for a Christian worldview. The Bible and Theology major is inseparable from the College’s mission and heritage. This major defines Trinity College of Florida as a Bible college.
Students successfully completing the Bible B.A. program will demonstrate:
- Knowledge of biblical studies.
- Knowledge of systematic theology.
- Knowledge and skills for accurate interpretation and communication of the biblical message.
