Seminary

Campus Contact: Dr. Kathryn Kleinhans, Religion and Philosophy Department

Seminaries encourage students to acquire a broad liberal arts education at the undergraduate level. The Wartburg College Religion and Philosophy Department offers a preseminary concentration designed to equip students for seminary. Students interested in ministry, however, may also choose to major in another field of interest. Wartburg offers courses in biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek that prepare students for graduate level study of the Bible in its original languages. History, literature, and writing courses are also recommended.

Wartburg College has a dual-degree program agreement (3 years + 4 years) with both Wartburg Seminary and Luther Seminary, allowing students approved by the Religion and Philosophy Department and by their candidacy committee to enroll in seminary after their junior year of college. Details are available from the chair of the Religion and Philosophy Department.
