Modular Religion Major
Mount Olive College specializes in accelerated degree completion programs designed for working adults who have completed about two years of college. For many who have been called to a life of Christian service, the pursuit of religious studies has meant either quitting work, or distance education via the Internet or satellite television.
With the Modular Religion Major (MRM) at Mount Olive College, you can complete your bachelor's degree while continuing to work full time. Though convenient, the MRM program is academically challenging and designed to equip serious ministerial students for service or continuing education at seminary or divinity school. If you are searching for a richer understanding of your faith, the MRM program will help you foster your relationship with God and realize your full potential as His servant.
