Academics & Degrees
Dallas Christian College seeks to educate and mentor students to be people
of influence, under God’s influence, for a life of influence. The
educational programs of the college produce graduates who are able to
influence others in various settings, including ministry, business, and
education.
All the degree programs of DCC meet ABHE requirements for a balanced
curriculum in Bible, general education, and specialized or professional
studies. This reflects the college’s conviction that knowledge of
the Bible is basic to education.
The college offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), a Bachelor of Science (B.S.),
and an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.). The Bachelor of Arts degree
differs from the Bachelor of Science degree in that the B.A. requires
12-hours of Biblical Greek. Students who intend to enter ministry, particularly
preaching or teaching, or who intend to enroll in seminary are encouraged
to pursue the B.A. degree.
The Bible Division offers the B.A. and B.S. degrees
with majors in Biblical Studies, Intercultural Studies, Ministry Leadership,
Ministry and Leadership, and Worship Arts. The Bible Division offers minors
in Biblical Languages, Education Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Ministry
Studies, Preaching Ministry, Urban Studies, Worship Arts, and Youth and
Family Ministry.
The Arts and Sciences Division offers the B.A.
and the B.S. degree with majors in Interdisciplinary Studies and Psychology
and minors in English, History, or Psychology. These majors serve as foundational
undergraduate degrees preparing students for church and para-church ministries
and for graduate professional studies.
The Business Division offers the B.A. and
the B.S. degree in Business Administration. The Business Division also
offers minors in Accounting and International Management and an A.A.S.
degree in Business.
The Education Division offers the B.S. degree
in Elementary Education or Secondary Education with teaching specialization
in English or History and a B.S. in Music Education for all levels. These
degrees prepare students to teach in private Christian schools with certification
from the Association
of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
The college also offers degrees online and through Quest,
a degree-completion program whose classes meet in the evening. DCC
