BTh Bachelor of Theology
The Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.) Programme was introduced in 1980. It was designed to give further training to “A’ Level holders and post-Diploma graduates who had excelled at the Diploma in Theology level offered at the Seminary. It began as a four-year programme; however, a year later it was changed to a three-year programme. In the 2000/2001 academic year, the programme was again changed to four-year duration to conform to the existing Universities’ Bachelor degree programmes in the country.
