B.A. vs B.Th. What's the difference?

  • Bachelor of Arts

    VS.

    Bachelor of Theology


    Mostly the difference is in the name. Historically, students training for ministry received either a Diploma or a Bachelor's in Theology. In the 1980s, Bible Colleges on the prairies began offering the Bachelor of Arts degree. At Horizon, students earning the B.Th. must take two semesters of Greek as part of their program - though Greek is available to B.A. students as well!
