BA/BS in Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities

This major offers a liberal arts education rooted in classical learning and Lutheran heritage, directed toward wisdom, eloquence and virtue. Students link history to the modern world and apply classical ideas to the needs of the church and society today. The curriculum draws on many university programs including music, theology and languages. Courses run from Latin and Greek through Shakespeare, and from European history of recent centuries to moral philosophy. Faculty are recognized within the church and in their fields. A minor in the same subject can be added to other undergraduate degrees. The major suits students who value reading primary texts and discussing them in seminar-style classes. A broad foundation across history, language and the arts prepares graduates for the church, teaching and graduate study alike.
