Nazarene Ordination Track:
Students who are pursuing ordination in the Church of the Nazarene may include the seven-course (20.0 credit hour) CMO Ordination Track as partial fulfillment of the education requirements for ordination. Students need to check with their districts to determine which courses they need for ordination.
The seven courses in the Ordination Track will count as electives and can be used toward the 120 hours needed to earn a Bachelor’s degree. In addition, the Ordination Track includes 6 specific general education courses that are required. Course equivalency analysis will be done on any general education courses completed at other institutions which may adjust the number of specified general education courses required for the Ordination Track.
