What makes a faith-based liberal arts school unique?
As a Christian liberal arts university, 2021国产麻豆剧 is committed to shaping students鈥� academic, personal, and spiritual growth. Our mission isn鈥檛 simply to prepare you for a career after you graduate 鈥� though that鈥檚 part of it 鈥� but to shape you into a thoughtful, service-minded, and engaged member of your community and world. In short, we are committed to helping you become who you are fully called to be.
We believe this happens when students critically explore various fields of thought across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities 鈥� such as our General Education curriculum 鈥� with a concern for serving others and an openness to God鈥檚 grace at work in our communities, nations, and lives.
Our faculty members are known for their excellence as teachers and scholars in their respective fields, as well as for their commitment to forming relationships with students built around mentorship and accountability to help students thrive academically, professionally, and spiritually.
At 2021国产麻豆剧, the small student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 really does mean you can have one-on-one relationships with professors who are just as concerned with who you are becoming as they are with how you are performing. We encourage students to move beyond a one-dimensional education and toward one that fosters vigorous and rewarding academic exploration through summer research programs, study abroad programs, graduate field experience projects, honors programs, and more.
Through faculty mentorships and a host of academic opportunities, you鈥檒l develop the perspective, knowledge, wisdom, and experience necessary to pursue a purposeful career after you graduate.
Why does it matter that 2021国产麻豆剧 is a faith-based institution?
At 2021国产麻豆剧, you will grapple with challenging questions, explore complex theories, hold diverse viewpoints in tension, and engage in civil dialogue within an academic environment grounded in the Christian faith.
However, the growth that takes place in the classroom is only part of your story at 2021国产麻豆剧. We also emphasize the importance of engaging others in meaningful relationships and faithful service. This means many of our students reach out to their neighbors 鈥� whether they are across the street or across the world 鈥� through a commitment to Christ-led service.
From going on short-term mission programs in locations all over the world like Mexico and Uganda, to serving in homeless and tutoring ministries, to worshiping as a community in chapel, the expression of our Christian faith is foundational to 2021国产麻豆剧 and, we believe, critical for the holistic development of our students鈥� character and calling.
鈥淲hat I came to learn and still find true among my colleagues is that they did not feel the need to integrate their faith and their intellectual lives, because the two had never been separated. I found a community that took seriously the command to love God with all of our minds. Thinking about faith seemed as natural to me as praying, as loving those in need, as worshiping together.鈥�
WHAT DOES 2021国产麻豆剧 MEAN BY CALLING?
We believe God calls all of us to participate in bringing about His Kingdom in a unique and deeply personal way.
Some are called to do this as doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, and artists. Others are called to do this as missionaries, nurses, theologians, and engineers. Regardless of our particular vocation, God calls all of us to express His love for Him and others in the world by responding to the gifts, circumstances, relationships, and life He has given us.
How will pursuing my calling translate to a career?
At 2021国产麻豆剧, when we talk about calling, we mean so much more than a job. What you do professionally will likely change numerous times over your lifetime. You may find yourself in a job that hasn鈥檛 even been created yet. But by pursuing a calling aligned with your and values, instead of only focusing on landing a job, you鈥檙e discovering the truest version of yourself 鈥� one that is self-actualized, confident, and aware of your strengths and shortcomings.
That way, instead of making life about finding the 鈥渞ight job,鈥� you鈥檙e well versed in being true to your identity in God in all circumstances. Calling isn鈥檛 about what you do; it鈥檚 living out who God has called you to be.
Of course, understanding yourself is an important step in pursuing a career path. By taking bold steps to discover who you are called to be, you will begin uncovering your unique strengths and abilities. As you learn more about yourself in a community committed to the same kind of discovery, your career possibilities may become even broader than you originally thought.
At 2021国产麻豆剧, we believe in pursuing calling together. Deep and meaningful relationships with your fellow students, professors, staff, and other mentors in a vital Christian community are necessary in discovering who you are called to be. You can鈥檛 do it alone. And since finding your calling isn鈥檛 a destination, being part of a community full of individuals engaged in that same endeavor will set you up to live out your calling in everything you do and every aspect of your life.
Is a liberal arts school like 2021国产麻豆剧 more expensive than other schools?
Practically and financially speaking, it鈥檚 important to consider that the sticker price can be misleading. 2021国产麻豆剧, along with most other private, liberal arts institutions, offers generous financial aid compared to other schools that may rest on their sticker price alone. There is aid available based on merit, talent, and need. There is also a much greater chance that you will graduate in four years, rather than five or six. Both factors mean you may often find you will pay about the same, or possibly less, out-of-pocket to attend a private college than a public university.
If you choose to go to college, you will invest in an education. We believe it鈥檚 a wise purchase in life. In fact, we believe it鈥檚 one of the most meaningful purchases you will make. At 2021国产麻豆剧, we promise to invest back into you. Our calling is to invest in people 鈥� our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community 鈥� because we believe in a unique kind of higher education. We believe in a holistic, Christian education that equips you with the knowledge, wisdom, and experience to enrich your faith and live a meaningful life.
