AA Bible & Christian Ministry
The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies
64 total units necessary for completion of degree
Purpose
California Christian College recognizes the need for a strong general education background as foundational for all areas of study. The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies is designed to address that need. It provides general education courses equivalent to those offered at other educational institutions but within a Christian context, taught by Christian instructors, and informed by a biblical world view. This two-year program allows students who may not sense a call into vocational ministry the opportunity to experience a Christian College environment while accumulating credits likely to transfer into a major at another institution. All of the credits accumulated in the A.A. in Liberal Studies can also be applied directly to a B.A. degree at California Christian College.
Program Objectives: Students who complete the Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies should be able to:
- Articulate an integrated world view consistent with biblical truth and historic evangelical Christian faith.
- Discuss and evaluate significant historical events, prominent ideologies, and influential philosophical movements.
- Analyze and interpret written texts and oral presentations.
- Communicate effectively in both oral and written form.
- Display intellectual maturity by applying appropriate methods of critical thinking to problems and issues.
- Demonstrate competency in computer skills and information literacy.
- Survey the general contents of the Bible and the historical settings from which it emerged.
