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.

General Studies Program Objectives

Students will:

1. Communicate effectively in writing, using coherent content and appropriate
   organization, style, and grammar for the subject and audience
2. Communicate clearly and persuasively in speaking, constructing and conveying
   their message using appropriate techniques for the subject and audience
3. Understand themselves within various social contexts as they integrate into their
   Christian worldview the basic knowledge of these General Studies areas: Bible,
   history, literature, mathematics, science, and social science
4. Employ interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation in order to
   conclude, solve problems, and interpret events
