The Bachelor of Education and Religious Studies (B.Ed. R.S.) equips students with strong educational and leadership capabilities alongside a deep ethical foundation grounded in faith and values. The program integrates core education disciplines—such as curriculum development, pedagogy, classroom management, and educational leadership—with religious studies that emphasize moral responsibility, compassionate teaching, cultural understanding, and faith-informed decision-making.

Graduates are prepared to teach, lead, and serve in schools, community programs, and educational institutions where professional excellence, ethical integrity, and spiritual insight work together to promote holistic learning and student well-being.

Overview

This program is offered 100% online (optional), allowing students to complete their studies anytime, anywhere, from the comfort of their home.

The Bachelor of Education and Religious Studies integrates foundational education and leadership studies with religious and ethics-based learning. Students develop knowledge in areas such as curriculum development, pedagogy, classroom management, educational leadership, and policy, while exploring how faith, theology, and moral principles shape compassionate and responsible teaching and school leadership.

This interdisciplinary approach prepares graduates to lead and teach with integrity, cultural sensitivity, and social responsibility. The final stage of the program emphasizes advanced educational leadership, ethics, and applied religious studies, enabling students to apply their learning through projects and practical teaching scenarios where education, faith, and service intersect.
