We take seriously our responsibility to help our students develop their talents and envision, then pursue
the lives of purpose and fulfillment for which God designed them. We want every student to deeply consider the questions, ‘Who do you want to be?’ and ‘What kind of life do you want to live?'
The Christian Liberal Arts and Sciences tradition has long prepared students for academic achievement and successful living, providing students with the tools they need to read closely, think critically, reason logically, and speak compellingly. Traditionally, it has called its students to a broad range of study, encompassing literature, history, mathematics, science, and the arts, and teaches them how to approach these disciplines purposefully and critically.
