Humanities_TITLE

This program offers students a broad foundation of biblical and liberal arts studies including intercultural studies, history, language and philosophy.

What Makes This Program Different

In offering a broader range of study, this program intentionally makes interdisciplinary connections between biblical studies and the humanities. 

An emphasis on cultural formation encourages students to contextualize their own culture in face of increasing globalization and intercultural dialogue. Students will also benefit from developing valued research, critical analytical and effective communication skills, preparing them for advanced university, seminary and graduate level education.

Students are strongly encouraged to take a full semester of the program abroad by applying to one of the Best Semester programs offered through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
