Program Major Requirements |
24 hours |
|
| |
At least 24 semester hours are necessary for a major. During EXCEL, the student will take 21 of these hours. In the Psychology and Business leadership programs, if a student does not transfer in 3 additional hours in his/her professional studies area, then an additional 3 hours is required for that major. Those Psychology students who do not transfer in a course in General Psychology should plan to make up this deficit during his/her first year in EXCEL studies.
Students in the Christian Ministry degree are required to take BS 406 Romans and a Ministry Practicum course designed by your program advisor. |

For those students wishing to have a second major in Bible, 5 additional hours, in Biblical Studies are required. One of the strengths of Grace University is its Bible and Theology offerings. All EXCEL students are encouraged to take advantage of these offerings as part of the 69 hours of general requirements. |
