The Bachelor of Theology (Th.B) degree is a specialized academic
degree whose participants major in Theology. In accredited schools,
a student will receive the Th.B upon completion of a course of
study culminating in a minimum of 128 credit hours. Theology
students on the under graduate level also study humanities, the
arts, science, and sometimes a lanquage. Some schools may require
you to write a thesis on the undergraduate level. On another note:
You have schools that are Accredited and those that are not
accredited. Accredited schools are evaluated by an outside entity
that is recognized by the United States Department of Education.
Non-accredited schools either have no entity which evaluates their
academic programs or actually have an evaluating entity, but is not
recognized by the USDE. An accreditation agency evaluates the
quality and substance of a school's program and determines its
worthiness. Accredited schools can also receive federal financial
aid. Accredited schools can often times transfer their credits to
other schools, while non-accredited schools usually can not. If
accreditation is important to you, you may want to see in the
schools information if they are accredited and that the
accreditation agency is recognized by the USDE.
