Program Overview

College for Officer Training (CFOT) Integrated Program, Canada and Bermuda Territory

Three-Year Degree Program (100 credit hours)

This program is open to cadets in The Salvation Army Canada and Bermuda Territory.

This integrated program is offered in co-operation with The Salvation Army’s College for Officer Training (CFOT). During the portion of the program that is taken at CFOT, students prepare for commissioning and ordination as Salvation Army officers. After the completion of the CFOT component of the program, students finish their bachelor degree requirements directly with Booth University College. 

Learning Objectives

In addition to the Institutional Learning Outcomes, on successful completion of this bachelor degree program, it is expected that students will:

1. Have a sound knowledge of the biblical and theological basis for their Christian faith, including the Wesleyan theological tradition;
2. Have a better understanding of the context in which they minister;
3. Have broadened and strengthened their ministry skills;
4. Have the skills necessary for ongoing study and research in order to continue to be informed Christian leaders in a changing world;
5. Be developing a Christian worldview which will enable them to live as Christian witnesses and to serve as Christian leaders in society.

Program Admission and Continuance Criteria

This bachelor degree program is only open to Salvation Army cadets and officers in the Canada and Bermuda Territory. Admission to the bachelor degree program is restricted to those who have been accepted by The Salvation Army in the Canada and Bermuda Territories as cadets. While the completion of the bachelor degree requirements is the primary concern of Booth University College, The Salvation Army alone makes decisions about the suitability of a cadet for commissioning and ordination. If a student ceases to be a cadet for Salvation Army officership, that student will not be allowed to continue in this bachelor degree program. However, with the permission of the Academic Dean, the student may be allowed to transfer into another bachelor degree program offered by Booth University College.
