Undergraduate Division

The undergraduate program is a four-year program that is the entry level into college.  It is the starting point for the high school graduate who is beginning his college studies.  Once a person has earned his undergraduate degree, he would then be eligible for graduate study, which would include the master’s degree followed by a doctorate, if desired.

Listed below are the undergraduate majors or areas of concentration which may be sought in the applicable field of study.  All programs of study (undergraduate and graduate) require Baptist History I and II.  Electives are to be chosen from the list of courses and are left to the discretion of the student.

*This major offers a degree with the ability to teach in either elementary or secondary.  It is generally easier to go from elementary to secondary, rather than vice versa.  Also, due to the changing climate of Christian schools, it is best to be flexible in BOTH areas of teaching.

**This program is designed especially for ladies who are wives or prospective wives of full-time Christian workers.  This program is exceptionally suited for the preacher’s wife, whether she be the wife of a missionary, pastor, assistant pastor, or teacher.  This would also be available for any woman in the church who is desiring a well-rounded Christian education and wants to find her place in the local church and in the will of God.

If no major or area of concentration is desired or chosen, the student will automatically be enrolled in the Biblical Studies division of BCA.

***All courses are 2-credit courses unless otherwise noted.
