Undergraduate Division Information

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.

A student who has successfully completed the courses in humanities/communicative art, social science, and mathematics/science, should be able to meet the following objectives:

Humanities/Communicative Art

Objectives

Students satisfactorily completing requirements in communication should be able to:

  1. Display a proficiency in the use of the English language both in oral and written communication.
  2. Display an appreciation of the effect of literature upon culture.

The methods in which these objectives will be measured will be through written test and observation of oral articulation in class between the professor and their peers.

Mathematics / Science

  1. Display a proficiency in understanding the basic concepts of Mathematics.
  2. Display an understanding of the basic concepts of the use of computers, and a basic understanding of physical science.
  3. Display a basic understanding of the opposing philosophies of evolution and creationism.

The methods in which these objectives will be measured will be through written test, and observation of oral articulation in class between the professor and their peers.

Social Science

Objectives

  1. Articulate an adequate understanding of the major theories of counseling/psychology.
  2. Articulate an approach to counseling/psychology that is distinctively Christian.

The methods in which these objectives will be measured will be through written test, observation of oral articulation in class between the professor and their peers, and by actually conducting, in some situations, mock group, and marriage and family sessions. These mock sessions will be critiqued by the professor and their peers.
