ssm undergraduate majors
SSM undergraduate professional majors include
Biblical Languages, Family and Church Education,
Pastoral Ministries, and Youth Ministry, Family,
and Culture. All undergraduate students earn a
major in Bible as well as a professional ministry
major. Students who have taken at least 30
semester hours of Bible, Theology and Church
History as part of their undergraduate studies
qualify for a shortened program of studies at the
graduate level (Program 2). They may pursue
advanced standing with credit for up to one-sixth
of any degree (except the Program 2 Master of
Arts [Theological Studies]), thereby further short-
ening the length of time needed to complete their
studies. Students who earn their undergraduate
degree from CIU have the opportunity to earn the
B.A. and the M.A. in five years (4 +1) or the B.A.
and the M.Div. in six years (4 + 2).
college of arts & sciences
CIU’s College of Arts & Sciences offers collegiate
programs leading to a one-year Bible certificate,
two-year Associate of Arts degree and four-year
bachelor’s degrees. All bachelor’s degree pro-
grams feature a Bible major with a professional
major and/or minor. This college provides the core
curriculum for all undergraduate students in Bible,
general education and the leadership core.
Professional majors and minors include Applied
English, Business & Organizational Leadership,
Communication, General Studies (for transfer stu-
dents), Humanities, Middle Eastern Studies,
Music and Psychology. Undergraduate majors
offered through other colleges on campus include
Bible Teaching, Biblical Languages, Family and
Church Education, Intercultural Studies, Pastoral
Ministries, Teacher Education (via an M.A.T. pro-
gram), Teaching English as a Foreign Language
(minor only), and Youth Ministry, Family, and
Culture. The College of Arts & Sciences is large
enough to offer a complete range of academic
studies and extracurricular activities, yet small
enough for a family atmosphere. An exceptional
faculty ministers to motivated students in an
atmosphere of discipline, dedication and joy.
college of counseling
The College of Counseling (COC) has designed
the M.A. in Counseling program to facilitate the
growth of Christian students into well-qualified,
healthy, clinical mental health counselors. The
training model focuses on the heart (personal and
spiritual development), the head (research and
professional knowledge) and the hands (effective
interpersonal and clinical skills).
Graduates of the COC are awarded the M.A.
degree in Counseling and are eligible to apply for
national certification through the National Board
for Certified Counselors as well as South Carolina
State Licensed Professional Counselor Intern
(LPC/I) certification. Within this graduate degree
program students can focus on individual, group,
marriage and family counseling. Students are
prepared to work with clients facing a broad
range of mental, emotional, relational and spiritual
challenges. As clinical mental health counselors,
graduates are biblically informed and profession-
ally knowledgeable in the conceptualization and
practice of diagnosis, treatment, referral and pre-
vention. Graduates of this program work in set-
tings such as: private practice, community-based
mental health centers, hospitals and other treat-
ment facilities, as well as in church and missions
related ministries.
The COC also offers a Postgraduate Certificate in
Marriage and Family Counseling. A separate
application process is required to be accepted
into this program. This advanced training and
experience emphasizes a systems model.
Graduates of the certificate program are eligible to
apply for South Carolina State Licensed Marriage
and Family Therapist Intern (LMFT/I) certification.
