Concentration in Reformed Theology

The Concentration in Reformed Theology gives students a robust theological foundation for teaching and pastoring, leading and serving in churches of the broader Reformed tradition and helps them as they prepare for ordination in the PC (USA) or other churches in the Reformed tradition. A Concentration in Reformed Theology will be certified for students who have successfully taken at least nine credits worth of coursework in Reformed Theology, as broadly construed, out of which at least one 3-credit course needs to introduce them in depth either to the Reformed confessions or to a pre-eminent figure in Reformed theology.

Coordinator: Dr. Hanna Reichel
