Pre-Law (B.A.) Academic Minors English History Purpose The purpose of the Division of Humanities is to assist in providing the foundation of a liberal arts education to prepare the student to seek knowledge for its own sake and to place it in a Biblical framework. The primary goal is the pursuit of truth so that the mind, the reason, and the power to reflect are exercised. Programs offered within the division are designed to send students to their sacred and secular duties well-prepared and fortified with Christian character. Description of Division of Humanities The courses offered by this division form a major part of the foundation of the liberal arts education and lead to six academic majors including five bachelor degree programs. Majors leading to a Bachelor of Arts require instruction at the intermediate level in a foreign language and a course in philosophy. This requirement assumes that the student will have taken two years or more of language at the high school level and will be ready to resume language studies at the college level in Spanish or French. In most cases, students will have to take beginning level foreign language to be successful at the intermediate level. Bachelor of Arts in English The major in English seeks to develop in the student the ability to think, write, and speak clearly and effectively. In addition, faculty strive to help the student understand, enjoy, and evaluate literature by becoming acquainted with the works of the world's major writers as well as those writers’ social and intellectual backgrounds. This major is especially profitable for students wishing to enter the Christian ministry or become English teachers, librarians, or lawyers. It is also for those desiring a general humanities background. Students may enter the English major upon submission of a writing portfolio approved by the English Department. Students are to submit the portfolio upon completion of sixty hours. Course Requirements for Bachelor of Arts in English Freshman

Bachelor of Arts in History There is an ever-present need in our society for well-informed citizens with a thorough knowledge of historical trends and social forces which shape society. History majors are trained to understand and interpret these forces. The College offers a B.A. program in history to provide students with a Biblical approach to this field of study. Facts are examined, and conclusions are formed by students motivated by a love of learning and a love for history. Graduates from this major are prepared for graduate studies in education, political science, law, and a host of other fields. Undergraduate training in history can be a springboard to many professions where critical thinking skills and disciplined inquiry are valued.
