Bachelor's Degree Core
The core educational components are focus on three areas.
The Bible and Theological Major consists of 32 hours of intense bible training, with classes in Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, Ethics and more.
Beyond the major in Bible and another professional major/ minor, the student broadens his or her educational horizons through the area of General Education. This component of a bachelor's degree includes both foundational courses and a General Education Distribution requirement. Each student must select at least 12 semester hours of course work beyond the Foundation General Education courses, including at least one course from each of the three General Education Distribution areas listed below. Course listed in each area are not exhaustive;
other courses may meet category requirements, therefore, consult with your advisor. Some majors specify which courses should be taken to meet this 
requirement. Acceptable courses for the distribution requirement include general introductory courses within the disciplines represented in the area. Applications or skills courses do not satisfy this requirement.
In addition, there is a component of Leadership development and general Ministry Skills. The College provides strategic courses, labs, life coaching, and external experiences to provide opportunities for students to integrate classroom learning with personal maturity, spiritual formation, and practical ministry skills. It is this practical degree component that most directly focuses on skill competencies for ministry in the home, in the church, in the workplace, and in the community at large. Requirements will vary with each professional major/minor, but in general, all students are required to register for field education during any regular semester in which six or more semester hours of academic work are taken. Students are strongly encouraged to plan a cross-cultural experience into college experience. Some will do so for credit; others will simply join a short-term mission project. For more information, please consult the requirements listed under each program listed as "Practical Ministry Skills Development."
