Dual Degree Programs
Church and ministry today often require knowledge and skills as diverse as leading volunteers in the church, preaching, fundraising, or leading and managing a staff. Many emerging leaders desire an education that will prepare them for the rapidly changing, interdisciplinary opportunities in many church and ministry environments.
Dual degrees prepare students for multiple career paths, giving students greater flexibility and opportunity while also building a solid foundation for ministry work.
North Park offers a dual-degree program with six different possibilities. Pair one of three Seminary degrees with one of two degrees from the School of Business and Nonprofit Management (SBNM) at North Park University.
