Overview

Key facts

The Pre-Ministry and Community Engagement major of Drury University is designed for the student who has interest in pursuing a career in ministry, religion-affiliated counseling, or lay work with social justice organizations. Depending on student goals, it can prepare one for seminary or yeshiva, or it can be a preparation toward a vocation within a religious or nonprofit context. A student may not combine this major with other majors offered in the Religious Studies Program.

It provides a framework for an ecumenical religious education, an ethically informed approach to local, regional, and global inequities, and pragmatic strategies for working with organizations that seek to address and alleviate suffering.
