<p>does anyone know good schools for youth ministry and missionary majors? or practically any type of religious vocation or christian studies?</p>

<p>i know not many schools offer these majors, but does anyone have insight about those that do?</p>

<p>i know a little bit about asbury because my pastor, youth pastor, and associate pastor all went there, but that’s it!</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP!!!</p>

<p>Any particular denomination?</p>

<p>Often the suggestion is to major in psychology or finance/business/accounting type majors, continue being active with a youth group, then do a Master’s while working.
Look at Samford University and the University of Mobile for example.</p>

<p>Alot of schools have a theology major. I think it’s common to major in Theology, maybe take some education classes and then go to a Seminary. Many colleges still have a religious affilation. Just google your religons name and college, like, " Lutheran Colleges". Or even youth ministry, college</p>

<p>That was easy. Here’s a quick link: <a href=“http://www.universities.com/On-Campus/Bachelor_degree_Theology_and_Religious_Vocations_Youth_Ministry.html[/url]”>http://www.universities.com/On-Campus/Bachelor_degree_Theology_and_Religious_Vocations_Youth_Ministry.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Coolziller, I’m UMC, I’ll ask around. Again most of the pastors I know have undergrad majors in a variety of subjects, including religion, but then went to divinity school. The youth pastors are more of a mixed bag in terms of backgrounds. Take a look at B’ham -Southern, they only have a religion major now, but still give scholarships to UMC students, and a number of pastors begin their education there. Huntingdon College also, but it is very small now.</p>

<p>yeah, i have a friend a few years older than me who goes to BSC for religion who plans to go to seminary afterward.
he’s super cool and i look up to him a lot.
but yeah, i’m just confused on the whole process i guess.
i mean, i know how to get the list of all the colleges that offer that as a major, but they’re usually small and/or unknown, so i don’t know much about them.
i’ll take a look at huntingdon and eastern</p>
