For the most part, seminaries are designed to train students for the ministry. This qualifies them to become pastors and chaplains, but job opportunities with seminary degrees do not end there.
The kind of advanced studies that seminary degrees offer can also serve as training for all kinds of general management and leadership roles. Although they are designed to create Christian leaders, the leadership qualities themselves apply in almost any context. So you will find seminary graduates who are called to service in such roles as:
• Organization and communication coordinators
• Nonprofit fundraising managers
• Educational directors in Christian and secular schools
• Grant writers
• Executive directors in faith-based organization
