What type of major is best for teaching high school theology?
Hello all! I am planning on becoming a deaconess and would love to be able to work within a school setting. The program I will be enrolled in requires a Theology major, though I have also heard that an education background is beneficial to have classroom management skills and other teaching knowledge. Would a minor suffice for this purpose or would a double major in education and theology work better? Is there an alternate path to having an education background without actually majoring or minoring in it?
for anyone studying in religious institutions, colleges, universities, and seminaries, what should i consider when striving to major in religious studies?
for context, Im a junior in high school, and the only student (as far as i know) that wants to major in patristics. Im a catechumen in the eastern orthodox church, and have been talking with my spiritual father and faith studies leader (who is a graduate from HCHC college with a Masters of Divinity degree (MDiv)). you do not need to be specifically Eastern Orthodox to answer my question. i am open to all insights from all denominations (Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant, Assyrian Church of the East, ect). also if possible and comfortable, could you describe your experience in religious studies?
