    What is an online BA in Theology? It is a Bachelor of Arts degree studying, in broadest terms, the nature and history of deities. Coursework may include history, ethics, languages such as Latin and Hebrew, and religion. Some students may focus heavily on a single religion, such as Christianity. Others may broaden their studies to include a variety of major and minor world religions. Generally, these programs encourage a deep understanding of the history, philosophical tenants and practices of the religions studied.

    Aside from the religious benefits of a BA in Theology, graduates can gain other marketable abilities. These include analytical, interpersonal and intercultural skills, which can make graduates excellent problem solvers, communicators and team builders.

    The costs associated with a BA in Theology may vary by program length, school location and country. There may be other fees associated with online learning.

    The field of theology has many potential career applications. Some choose to serve a church directly by working as ministers or teachers at religious schools. Others are professors at post-secondary institutions. Still more use the communication and cultural skills they gained to become social workers or writers. Possibilities also exist for translators, researchers and librarians. The options can be versatile for a diligent student with an ability to apply previous skills to new situations, especially those requiring interaction with other people.
