Sonoma Campus

The College offers awards in Theology, Education – Primary, Business Studies, Agriculture and Building to train committed and efficient Christian workers for service to humanity, both, through church employment and outside of church employment.

The Bachelor of Education is comprised of a major strand in either Primary or Early Childhood and students enrolling into the program are selected according to their strengths to take up either of the strands. Students in the primary strand should be competent in teaching grade four to eight, while the early childhood graduates specialise in teaching grade one to three, and can also teach Lower Primary classes as well. 

The Diploma in Building program is a six semester three year full-time program. The program aims to develop well-groomed quality building technicians, estimators, projects supervisors, project managers and draftsman with content-based knowledge, well-informed aptitudes, skills and experiences to fit well into the building, architectural and drafting field of employment.

The 2 year Diploma in Business program is affiliated with Pacific Adventist University (PAU) School of Business, and is designed as a four semester full-time study program. The broad aim of this program is to prepare students for employment in accounting, computing and financial management positions in the Church and in its various subsidiary organisations, as well as in the wider business professional community. In this context the course seeks to integrate values with sound principles.

The Diploma in Tropical Agriculture is a six semester three year full-time program with emphasis on agricultural practices and issues relevant to Papua New Guinea and other oceanic countries of the South Pacific, such as principles of crop production, animal science, natural resources and conservation, soil science, rural extension, agricultural economics, livestock management, agricultural machinery maintenance, marketing and rural sociology.

The Diploma of Ministry is a three-year full-time equivalent for intending ministers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The program is designed primarily to prepare ministers and other skilled pastoral personnel for service in the Adventist Church in the oceanic countries of the South Pacific. It provides a foundation for ordination to pastoral ministry and for later specialisation and graduate studies. Students who successfully complete this program are eligible to apply to PAU for one additional year for the Bachelor of Ministry and Theology program.
