B.A Theological Studies

The B.A Theological Studies degree at Valley View University is grounded in the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. It is designed for students interested in exploring faith, religion, and their role in society. This programme offers a broad education in a field that is both intellectually rigorous and practically relevant.

What theological studies actually covers

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the study of religious texts, theology, church history, and ethics. You will develop skills in critical reading, interpretation, and clear communication, as well as an understanding of how religious ideas shape communities and individuals. Many programmes also touch on practical ministry, counselling, and leadership, preparing you for roles that require both knowledge and empathy.

What graduates do with this degree

Most graduates go into roles that involve pastoral care, education, or community service. Common paths include becoming a minister, chaplain, religious educator, or counsellor. Others work in non-profit organisations, social work, journalism, or further academic study. The skills you build, such as thinking carefully, listening deeply, and communicating clearly, are valued in any career that involves working with people.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other degree options in Ghana, which means it is a realistic choice if you have solid WASSCE passes but not top aggregates. That said, you still need to meet the general entry requirements for a degree programme at the university. If you are interested, check the specific subject requirements and see whether your grades align.
