Pre-Seminary

Through an emphasis on seminary topics in areas such as theology, biblical interpretation, and world religions, our pre-seminary degree program prepares students for advanced studies and careers in the field of ministry.  

Whether you aspire to serve your vocation in a church setting, classroom or across the globe, a pre-seminary degree can give you great fluidity in answering the calling God has given you. You’ll be prepared for a career in a variety of fields, from pastoral work to counseling to executive management and beyond.  

Earning a degree with a pre-seminary focus builds the foundational understanding needed to be successful as you advance your education in seminary studies – to ultimately progress toward a fulfilling and rewarding career. Benefits of pursuing your pre-seminary degree at University of the Cumberlands include expanded career opportunities, dedicated advisors, and meeting your seminary requirements, should you choose to enroll in an accredited seminary program. 

University of the Cumberlands’ pre-seminary program prepares you to pursue advanced seminary studies with important missions and ministry courses under your belt, as well as a well-rounded education in English, social sciences, history, and more. 

In addition to “Faith in Action” being a motto we live by, it’s also a publication we produce that is focused on Cumberlands students who serve. Our university strives to be an institution that consistently puts faith into action, demonstrating it through humble service to our local community and the Appalachian region. Just as Christ modeled and encouraged servant leadership, we inspire and equip students to do the same through various ministries and outreach activities.
