Majors

The Department of Humanities offers four majors and an interdisciplinary program with broad studies in each area. Humanities graduates can be certified to teach art, drama, English, or a foreign language.

• Art: An art major gives you an appreciation of art history and helps you develop your personal techniques. Consider this field if you are interested in design, illustration, sculpting or in teaching art.
• English majors may work toward graduate studies, creative writing, editorial work, teaching, or public positions requiring smooth cultural rapport and precise, efficient use of the English language.
• Modern Language Studies provides students with the basic lexical and grammatical foundations
  for reading, writing, and comprehending French and Spanish. Greek and Hebrew are taught for research purposes through the Theology Department. Several opportunities also exist for studies abroad.
• Theatre: A major in drama provides an understanding of theater and gives plenty of acting, directing, and set design opportunities.
• Theatre/Music offers an option to the student who has a strong interest in music theatre to
  pursue an emphasis in either music or theatre.

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate Program

The extensive use of English in the global environment requires many speakers of other languages outside the United States to seek qualified instruction.  A TEFL Certificate from a recognized academic institution is widely accepted as qualification to teach such students; thus, it can be a means to future employment and ministry within other cultures.
