Undergraduate
For the serious student, Heritage Christian offers a 128-hour program leading to a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies. The program provides four divisions of study:
• Biblical and Theological Studies
• General Education
• Professional Studies
• Minor and Electives
These divisions help you have a balanced education and be equipped for ministry.
All students major in biblical studies. What that means for you is that other students in your classes are focused on the same things that you are. That type of singular focus allows for lively discussions and the formation of lifelong friendships. The distinctive feature of HCU’s program of study is the emphasis on practical application of classroom learning. Faculty members ensure that you have the latest theories and information in their fields of study. But more than that, they will offer assignments and projects that allow you to apply what you have learned to real world situations. When you complete a degree from HCU, you will have many hours of real world ministry under your belt.
The time spent in the classroom and in research helps you to have a doctrinal, historical, and systematic perspective of Christianity and its worldwide mission. But the hours spent in the field will enable you to communicate effectively, to grow in sensitivity to the world’s needs, and to connect scholarly excellence with spiritual growth.
