Distinctives

Learn the Liberal Arts from a Biblical Worldview.
An increasing issue in higher education is the secularization of the curriculum. Feel confident knowing that you will learn the humanities, social sciences, and more from a Biblical and Christian worldview.

Learn from expert faculty and benefit from small class sizes.
Learn from professors who have real-world experience in their fields and who take a personal interest in your success. You won’t be in large lecture halls, but small classes where you get personal interaction with your professors and peers.
