Humanities Department

It is the purpose of the Humanities Department to celebrate the human endeavors, such as literature, art, language, philosophy and history, and to explore ways they are able to potentially articulate the restorative and liberating power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Humanities Department is a collection of academic disciplines that study the ways people produce, process, consume and understand the human experience. The department pursues this study within a biblical framework that fosters a learning community committed to growing in humanity’s purpose as God’s image. The B.A. or B.S. degrees in Communication Studies, Criminal Justice (online only), English, and History prepare students for graduate school or professional school (i.e., seminary or law school) and for careers in teaching, journalism, writing, media, advertising, public relations, etc. The Humanities Department also offers minors in Applied Ethics, English, French, History, Journalism, Leadership, Media Studies, Philosophy, Public Relations and Spanish. We also offer the Associate of Arts degree, a two-year community college degree that meets the needs of students who desire only two years of college or that allows them to lay a biblical foundation before transferring to a university for a more specialized major. The Humanities Department also serves the total student body by providing much of the general education core curriculum, teaching students to think constructively about every area of life framed by a commitment to Christ and His Kingdom.

Natural Sciences & Mathematics Department

The Natural Sciences & Mathematics Department serves the total student body by providing the science, mathematics and computer courses for the general education core curriculum. Every course is designed with an emphasis on teaching students how to integrate these subjects into a personal biblical worldview. The Biology major prepares students for in-field careers and professional service, such as lab or forensic technician, environmental scientist or food scientist. The Biology degree is also excellent preparation for students seeking advanced degrees in graduate school or the many professional programs, including medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, or pharmacy to name a few. Natural Sciences & Mathematics also supports the concentrations in Science Education for secondary education majors. Minors available in the department include Biology, Chemistry, Ecology & Environmental Science, Mathematics, and Public Health.
