Bachelor of Applied Science in Practical Ministry

Olivet Nazarene University's partnership with The Salvation Army is a natural one, as both organizations aim to prepare men and women for ministry.

Developed with the Education Department of The Salvation Army Central Territory, the Bachelor of Applied Science: Practical Ministries degree-completion program aims to prepare students at the bachelor's level for ministry that confronts society as a whole. The program focuses on religious, social and cultural issues, especially as they relate to The Salvation Army.

We know you lead a busy life, so the program is tailored to your unique needs as an adult learner and a Salvation Army officer. Classes are fully online and begin throughout the year. Your education will extend beyond the classroom in work-study projects.
