Services

Often, freshmen and sophomore students have not yet determined an academic major.  Until a major is declared, the Student Success Center will serve as the academic advising home for those students.  Our staff members are happy to serve deciding students with course selection, registration, and academic planning.  Additionally, we have resources available to assist in the decision-making process of declaring a major and determining a career choice. Once a decision is made regarding an academic major, students should come to the Student Success Center to officially declare (or change) their major! If you have any questions, please come see us on the second floor of the Library!

Associate degrees require a minimum of 60 hours. The core curriculum includes study in communication, biblical traditions, mathematics, science, and personal and social awareness. Remaining requirements may include courses in Religion (for Christian Ministries) or elective courses for the Liberal Arts or General Studies emphasis.
