Requirements will vary with each professional major/minor, but generally all students complete CSL during their freshman

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 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.
