Have you considered teaching or social work?  Both taxing careers that take a special kind of person - and theology can be an excellent background for either.\n\nGood Luck!

Depends on what college or university you're attending, and what you plan to do once you graduate. \n\nThere are two main paths - theology and divinity. Actually, I got my B.A. in Sociology (which was actually very helpful, along with a minor in religious studies), 1st M.A. in Social Psychology, 2nd M.Div., and Doctorate is dual, D.Min. and Ph.D. (to meet state requirements for counseling licensure). \n\nCheck with your church to find out what they actually require. If you don't have to meet someone else's requirements, all you have to do is pray. God will let you know what you need to do. Peace!

There are no reputable online M.Div. or Th.M. or M.T.S. or S.T.M. programs. Trust me.\n\nAnd then check out the website below, which lists the accredited theological schools which offer SOME online courses. Note that NO accredited theological schools allow students to complete their degree entirely without residency.

At what level? For an undergraduate degree I might suggest Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Biola In Los angeles, or Criswell in Dallas Tx.\n\nFor a masters Degree I would reccomend either Westminster (Pennsylvania, Dallas, Callifornia, London) or Reformed Theological  (Florida, Mississippi, Atlanta Ga).\n\nFor a Doctorate I would Suggest Southern Theological in Kentuky, University of Aberdeen in Scotland or Reformed Theological

Get a Ph.D. in fine arts. Also, get some work experience in a museum. I suggest you learn the art of "framing" as well.

You need to figure out what kind of Religious Studies you want to pursue.  Are you seeking a secular historical type of class?  Do you want to learn about ancient religions, modern religions, or obscure religions?  Do you prefer a solid theistic study of religion over a philosophical/historical study?  Once you narrow down your specific interest, then do a Google search based on what you seek.  US News ranks the best colleges and grad programs, so that might help.  Seek out professional journals in the field to find out where the best professors teach.  Also, e-mail the faculty adviser in Religious Studies at colleges you find of interest and see what kind of response you get.  Good luck.

Many people are.  I know I was, years ago.  You may want to start with a liberal arts program at a local community college. When you find something that interests you can major in that subject and then transfer to a four-year school.  \n\nYou get the same diploma as the people that went there for all four (or more!) years, but don't waste all that money trying to figure out what you'd like to do. I tried it both ways and this is definitely the way to go, especially if you're paying for college yourself.\n\nGood Luck.

You might need to take a few undergraduate courses to meet admissions requirements but there should be no need get another bachelors.  Just check with the school you want to go to.

You need a degree in education with a minor in art. If you want to specialize. It can be a bachelors in most states. But you should contact a local college or university and find out the requirments in your state.

I am going for a graphic design degree at Mt. Sierra and love it. I have a BA already from an on campus school and I have had a better experience with the online classes. About.com has some great information on distance learning and I would highly recommend doing research first and asking a lot of questions. About.com has a great suggestion list of questions to ask an admissions representative. It helped me immensely and I am 100% convinced I made the right decision.\n\nGood luck :-)

Talk to a pastor and ask him or her where they went for their education. Not sure if its the same as a priest, a seminary.

Most major universities have some type of master's deg. in education.  It just depends on what type of education degree you want.  There are several Christian universities in the U.S. as well.  Liberty University is one that I know of.  I think there is one in NC called Temple.  I would go on the net and do a search.  You will probably get lots of hits so you might want to narrow the search down to your region.

I know there are a lot of seminary schools in the bay area. Make sure you teach apologetics. I wish I could be more help. Good luck! You could call Hank Hannegraaff for some advise. He is at the Christian Research Institute. \n\nhttp://www.equip.org

I'd hope that you'd want to go into graphic design given your major. However, if you're thinking about an art history related career, you could consider the following:\n\n-museum work (registration, education, preparator, exhibition design -- generally not curatorial or upper administration without a graduate degree)\n-art gallery work\n-artist reprensentative\n-arts organization consultant

I understand McDonalds has a fast track fry-cook career path for Art History majors. Try engineering!

Students who take Religious Studies courses gain valuable critical thinking skills, as well as information and insight for a span of careers ranging from law and politics to medicine, social work, and even international business. As religion has come to be an increasingly critical factor for understanding the enormous diversity of the modern world, the importance of courses in religion for a great variety of careers has correspondingly increased.\n\nReligious Studies majors in my program have gone on to graduate and professional schools at leading universities, mostly in fields within the humanities (philosophy, religious studies, history, art history), but also in fields as diverse as law, journalism, psychology, social work, and business management.\n\nWe do not offer a "youth ministry" major at my university, nor is one offered at any university I'm familiar with.  I suspect that such a major is only available at religiously-affiliated colleges.\n\nBest wishes to you!
