General Studies Curriculum Overview<br />

Based on the <strong>University</strong>’s mission of preparing men and women for a life of service in the<br />

church and in the world, the General Studies curriculum provides a set of experiences,<br />

knowledge, and skills necessary for a life of Christian service. The curriculum introduces<br />

the liberal arts through interdisciplinary study, with a focus on problem-solving. The student<br />

will confront ambiguity, complexity, and synthesize disciplinary insights into a comprehensive<br />

understanding of selected problems in the context of Christian faith and values.<br />

Outcome Domains<br />

and understand their contexts and methods of analysis. The categories of Heritage,<br />

Institutions, and the Arts provide the content for problem identification. Problems are<br />

framed within the following contexts:<br />

• Exploring the Christian Faith<br />

• Functioning within Social Institutions
