The Liberal Arts major, as English and History, is designed for students who desire a biblically-based education in the liberal arts, emphasizing the humanities and social sciences, as preparation for a variety of vocations and graduate education. The Psychology major is a pre-professional degree for students who will go on to graduate study at the master's or doctoral levels that are required for professional careers in psychology and counseling. It is also a liberal arts program emphasizing interpersonal relations for students who anticipate jobs in business, the social services, and other fields. Another goal of the department is to provide programs for those planning to teach. The department offers majors in English Education , History Education , and Social Studies Education that lead to licensure for grades 5-12 by the Minnesota Department of Children, Families, and Learning.
Graduates are therefore qualified to teach in public schools as well as private Christian schools.
An Associate of Arts degree is offered for students who desire a two-year associate's degree and those who plan to transfer to another institution to complete a baccalaureate degree. The Humanities and Social Science Department also offers minors that students in other departments of the College may choose to take according in their interests.
