Christian Studies B. A.

Christian Studies students pursuing the BA degree receive a broad liberal arts education and the ability to select from a wide variety of courses that reflect their interests. The Christian Studies degrees do not require a minor. However, Christian Studies B.A. majors may also complete the Biblical Languages, Philosophy, or Intercultural Studies minors, or a minor outside the College. Christian Studies B.A. students may not do the Biblical Studies or Christian Studies minors. The BA is also the best for students seeking to double major.
