  • The General Studies Department was established as a coordinating department to oversee management and teaching of the Core Courses of the University.

    Core Courses are required by all faculties, and are designed to build foundations for Christian life and to provide necessary practical skills which cut across all academic disciplines.

    The Core Courses provide both a practical foundation for academic development, and a Christian moral foundation enabling students to apply their knowledge to all areas of life with integrity, purpose, wisdom, and discernment.
