Weimar College Adds New Programs
Published: May 04, 2009 04:08 PM
New degree programs will be added to the curriculum in the fall of 2009, with the focus on Pre-med, Pre-nursing, Religion and Media.
Our one-year Medical Missionary Certificate includes an emphasis in Massage and Hydrotherapy and prepares graduates to take the National Certification Exam and practice as massage therapists. Classes include massage, hydrotherapy, anatomy & physiology, kinesiology, and pathology, and health evangelism. The program includes over 500 hours and meets the NCBTMB requirements (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork).
The one-year Certificate in Pastoral Ministry combines one semester of training in evangelism at AFCOE (Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism) with several general education courses, including English, science, and psychology. Courses completed will count towards a two- or four year degree in Religion.
Our two-year Pre-nursing program includes nursing courses with a focus on health evangelism. Students learn the principles of balanced health and how to share it with others through different methods of evangelism. Courses include the sciences, general education and religion.
An exciting new addition to the programs this year is our four-year Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology degree that includes pre-med requirements. The first year of pre-med offered this fall includes courses in biology, chemistry, and English, along with health evangelism. Weimar College is working with Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities to facilitate transfers.
Our two-year Associate of Arts in Personal Ministries degree is offered in cooperation with Griggs University. Students complete one semester at AFCOE, then continue on at Weimar College to complete additional religion courses and general education courses. The program can be used as a stepping-stone for the four-year degree in Religion.
The four-year Bachelor of Arts in Religion degree is offered in cooperation with Griggs University. Students complete one semester at AFCOE, then continue on at Weimar College to complete additional religion courses and general education courses.
Our new Media Ministry certificate is an 11-month internship that’s both practical and educational. It will prepare students to lead a church-based media team or outreach project, as well as produce attractive, high-quality media productions that communicate God’s Word effectively to people.
All degrees and programs offered at Weimar College include practical outreach to the community, work education and physical labor, choir and orchestra as well as the Christian Perspectives course sequence that covers key topics such as creation and science, the spirit of prophecy, music and worship, and others.
Weimar College is affiliated with Griggs University and students receive Griggs University credits for approved courses completed at Weimar. Those approved courses are then transferable to Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities.
