To prepare its graduates for ministry, the school offers one- to four-year programs in a variety of disciplines. Students may pursue a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Theology (BTh), and select from several specializations, including Children and Family, Intercultural Studies, Pastoral Studies, Worship Arts, and Youth Ministry. Vanguard also offers one-year certificate programs in these areas. Students are required to do field education, or practical ministry, each academic year.
