Faith Integration

Faculty in the College are committed to the University and College mission statements, which explicitly directs instruction of the College disciplines from the context of a Christian worldview. In addition to providing a strong and rigorous curriculum in each of our specialties, our duty as Christian scholars is to help frame both our discipline and the practice of that discipline within a biblical and more specifically, a Christian context. This commitment to integrate discipline with Christian faith and practice occurs throughout the courses taught within the College. Furthermore, the College integrates and promotes the biblically supported core values mentioned above in the graduate programs.
