Requirements will vary with each professional major/minor, but generally all students are required to register for
CSL 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 their 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 as “Practical Ministry Skills Development.” The following list represents the core Leadership
and Ministry Skills courses and ministry skills experiences taken by all students pursuing a bachelor’s degree.

professional majors and minors. Consult with your academic advisor.
Professional Major/Minor
18-45
Beyond the degree core requirements, each student working toward a bachelor’s degree selects a professional
major and/or minor. A student may declare up to one professional major and two professional minors; or a student
may declare no professional major and two professional minors. Courses applied to any part of the bachelor’s
degree core may not also be applied to the requirements for a professional major or minor. Each professional
program has certain required foundational courses, including practical skills courses, and may have designated
electives. A course applied to the requirements of any professional major/minor may also be applied to the
requirements of a second minor if the course meets the requirements of both programs.
Open Electives

*Courses are also available as part of the Honors Program. See the Education Opportunities section of this
academic catalog for more information.
