Those who attend seminary are those who are preparing for ministry roles like pastors, deacons, and youth ministers. 

Seminaries encourage students to acquire a broad liberal arts education at the undergraduate level. While students interested in ministry or seminary may choose to major in religion or another field of interest, Wartburg’s B.A. in Religion with a Christian Ministry concentration is excellent preparation for both seminary and for ministry.

About Pre-professional Majors

Pre-professional majors are tracks in undergraduate programs that prepare you for a professional degree after your bachelor’s. A pre-professional major is not a major in the traditional sense, it’s more of a track to follow.

A faculty adviser will help you pick out the best courses and activities to increase your chances of being admitted to your professional program of choice. Wartburg has stellar acceptance rates with top professional and graduate programs, but remember that just because you choose a pre-professional major and completed your plan, does not guarantee you admission to a professional program.
