The General Studies Program emerges from the College’s conviction that all students
need an understanding of themselves, their world, and their community, combined with the ability
to think and communicate effectively. This curriculum is required in all degree plans; this
foundation prepares students to apply this knowledge in their major and to become people of
godly influence who appreciate God’s entire domain. The General Studies Program, overseen by
the Arts and Sciences Department, is built with reference to the Texas Core Curriculum.
