Summary of Programs Offered and Courses Required
All courses are 3 credit hours unless otherwise noted.
General Studies
All of nature and history exist through the creatorship and providential sustenance of God. It is appropriate for Christians to investigate the physical universe as well as the history of human thought, behavior, and social action for a full, rich, and effective life in a modern society.
The knowledge available in the arts and sciences offers a basic ground for a sound Christian education. This Division provides courses which facilitate improved communication, offers the student a sense of perspective, confront one with truth found in these areas generally considered secular, and enable one to have a better understanding and appreciation for both the world past and present, and for other people, individually and collectively.
