CHRISTIAN STUDIES (CST) The Department of Christian Studies offers the Christian Studies Major (Bachelor of Arts only), the Christian Studies Minor, the Biblical Languages Minor, the Youth Ministry Minor, and the Christian Ministry Certificate.. For the bachelor’s degree in Christian Studies, a student must complete the general education requirements, major requirements (Core, Tracks, and Electives) and a minor in another field. Christian Vocations Bluefield College has long been involved in preparing students to enter full-time Christian vocations. Such vocations include careers both inside and outside of the church. We encourage students interested in this broad field to continue with seminary education after college if at all possible, and our program is designed with that goal in mind. Faculty members who have had seminary training and/or ministry experience are available to provide further counsel to students regarding curriculum choices.
