This unique Bachelor's degree program (Bachelor of Divinity) has been carefully designed for persons (ordained ministers) seeking an academic study of interspirituality, modern theology, and planetary stewardship or for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in preparation for their graduate studies.
The Bachelor of Divinity degree program at NETU provides the student with opportunities to acquire a detailed wisdom-knowledge and understanding of many spiritual traditions and theologies with the freedom to develop strong analytical, critical thinking and evaluative skills in a diverse range of IntraFaith postmodern concepts.
Flexible learning opportunities abide with a focus on research and writing, and the chance to explore a broad range of interspiritual, sacred issues within diverse conscious environments.
Core Curriculum:
2. Foundations for Academic Research = 8 Credits
* NOTE: The academic term “thesis” is actually the Greek word ‘thésis’, meaning an intellectual “proposition” as a “proposal of a position”, which from the 17th century eventually came to be known as, "presenting academic research."
At NETU, an Undergraduate thesis presents a comprehensive review and analysis of a body of research work from academic, interspiritual, and experiential source materials, demonstrating competency in the field of studies.
Your Bachelor’s thesis is expected to be at least 50 pages, and based upon 3-4 years of cumulative studies and documented life-work in tandem with the approved ADL official transcript.
(For those interested to advance with further study, a Master’s thesis is expected to be a minimum of 100 pages, and is based upon an additional 1-2 years of studies, experience, and life-work after receiving a Bachelor's Degree from NETU or another academic institution.)
