OBJECTIVES The Christian education major is de­ signed to prepare its graduates for profes­ sional ministries in church and parachurch agencies and to provide a foundation for graduate training. Therefore, at the com­ pletion of this major, the student will have: realized his identity in relation to his posi­ tion in Christ and his spiritual gifts and abil­ ities related to Christian ministries; demon­ strated the essential knowledge and skills to study scriptures inductively and to commu­ nicate biblical truths effectively; established a basic philosophy of Christian education which incorporates the biblical concepts of discipleship and leadership; demonstrated his ability to be sensitive to others as per­ sons, understanding how people function in both individual and group learning experi­ ences; developed and demonstrates his abil­ ity to function successfully in teaching roles and/or in leadership roles. DEGREE PROGRAM A BACHELOROF ARTS DEGREE IN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION upon completion of the university baccalaureate and major requirements. The Christian education major requires the com­ pletion of a core of 33 units, 24 of which must be upper division and include: 150, 251, 252, 260, 261, 350, 360, 382, 450, 460, 490 and two of the following: 372, 373, 374. Bible 220 must be taken as the Bible elective. In addition to the 33-unit core, each stu­ dent is required to select a specialization of 15 to 23 units. Half of the courses taken within the specialization must be C.E. courses. There are eight specializations from which a student may choose that re­ flect a broad variety of ministry options in this field. The diversified specialization al­ lows the student to design a program that best suits his/her vocational interests.

Elementary Teaching Credential Program

This option combines the C.E. major core with liberal studies courses. This specializa­ tion requires more units than the others do but some units in the C.E. core are substitut­ ed for credential requirements. Students must pass the general knowledge section of the National Teachers Examination (NTE) prior to student teaching. Pre-seminary in Christian Education If a student plans to pursue graduate work in Christian education, there are spe­ cialization courses appropriate to a broader foundation in specified areas.
