TNU/SA Christian Ministry Program
120 Credit Hours Explained (SFOT Cadets)
How the degree is composed?
• 30 hr Christian Ministry Major (at TNU & SFOT)*
• 30 hr Gen. Ed. Component**
• 60 hr Electives
120 hours total
How can I get those hours?
1. Currently 30 hrs must be taken and passed at TNU and SFOT in course work under the Christian Ministry Program; this constitutes the "Major" and includes both the five required courses* and the five elective courses.
2. The 90 hrs can come from either transfer/transient classes from specific accredited colleges (this includes online courses), and alternative assessments.
Alternative assessments include:
a. Prior Learning Credit (up to 30 hours which only apply as elective hours).
· SFOT Portfolio
· Field Experience
b. Transcribed Testing (up to 45 hours) via CLEP or DANTES (which can either apply
toward general education or electives.)
c. Military Experience (DD 214)
d. Professional Schools and Training (PST)
3. PLEASE NOTE: It is important for the student to remember that the combination of alternative assessments can be no more than 50% of the degree (60 hours). However, the assessments may apply to either general education requirements or to elective hours.
*The five required core classes for the Christian Ministry Major:
1. Principles of Management and Supervision
2. Personal and Spiritual Development
3. Pastoral Care and Counseling
4. Wesleyan Holiness Theology
5. One Biblical Exegesis and Exposition class
