In a church-related Christian liberal arts college such as Pacific Union College, the Department of Religion is called upon to meet a variety of academic needs. In addition to providing a minimum of 18 hours of course credit for each four-year graduate of the College, the department offers majors and a minor for those who desire a more intensive study of the Bible and the Christian faith. Students who seek an education to prepare themselves for successful service as ministers, church workers, or active Christian lay workers will find in their religion courses not only content but also inspiration, specific methods, and other practical helps. Students with specific career goals in mind should note carefully the particular careers for which each program of study is designed.
Departmental advisers are prepared to assist the student in planning an academic program.
The career listings are by no means exhaustive, and there is often more than one program of study suitable for a given career preparation.
