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

Beyond the degree core requirements, each student working toward a bachelor’s degree selects a major. A student may
declare up to two majors and two minors. Courses applied to any part of the bachelor’s degree core may not also be applied
to the requirements for a major or minor (CIU’s Bible major is excluded from this limitation to allow students to complete
only four additional courses to the core in order to earn a Bible major).
Three hours of field experience serve as the minimal requirements for practical skill development within the major.
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 major/minor may also be applied to the requirements of
a second major/minor if the course meets the requirements of both programs. Although overlap is permitted between
majors/minors, at least fifty percent (50%) of the hours required for a major or minor must be completed without overlap
with another major/minor in order to be awarded.
