The B.A. in Humanities program will prepare students for life in a rapidly-changing world by anchoring them in a Christ-centered morality, challenging them to become discerning consumers of information and truthful communicators in a post-truth society, and equipping them to be servants who lead humbly in their workplaces, churches, and communities.
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Students will analyze and evaluate different perspectives on important topics
- Students will develop and articulate a worldview
- Students will perceive their own unique skillsets and explain how their skillsets can have application in the workplace.
