Mission Statement
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences, believing that both faith and learning are lifelong experiences, strives to expose students to the contents and methods of the humanities and social sciences while developing the patterns of academic excellence and scholarship representative of a commitment to the perpetual experience of education. Because the college is committed to the integration of faith and learning, the studies provided in the humanities and social sciences encourage students to understand, to analyze, and to participate in the interaction between faith and the disciplines. Such learning should equip students to become effective servant leaders who understand the essential connection between personal faith and lifelong learning and service.
Goals of the College
- To strive for excellence in teacher-student relationships.
- To enhance students' skills in analysis and critical thinking.
- To teach students to integrate faith and
learning by testing the creative insights gained through
studies in the humanities and social sciences against the
standards of divine truth exemplified in the text of the
Bible and as represented by historic Christian doctrines.
- To prepare students for servant leadership by exposure to a variety of disciplines and ideas, promoting an appreciation of the diversity of the world, interacting with current technology, and developing personal skills for effective problem solving, so that they may successfully relate to the world in which they serve.
