many courses are offered to last a semester and will lead
to 2-3 credits upon completion.
Courses are classified into two groups: General Courses
and other courses which are offered by each department.
General Courses are designed to provide the students with
a liberal education that broadens their knowledge in each
of the major areas of human knowledge. Students should
obtain a minimum of 42 credits from this group of courses
in order to graduate.
Each department also offers courses that are designed
to deepen the student's understanding of a specific area
so as to prepare the student to apply this knowledge to
his or her career. Students must obtain a minimum of 45
credits from the courses offered by the department of
their major, including all of the required courses. Music
students must obtain a minimum of 66 credits from their
major.

the courses in their major.
Students must obtain 2 credits of disciple Training Program,
and each student must pass the chapel attendance requirement
for 8 semesters.
The maximum full-time semester load is 21 units but a
student whose GPA from the previous semester is 3.7 or
above can take up to 24 units.
A graduation thesis is required of each student, but the
Department of Church Music requires a graduation performance
instead.
- Grading
The grade for a course is determined on the basis of the
results of the
examination, research papers, class attendance and class
performance.
Grades are defined
as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Grade A+ A0 B+ B0 C+ C0 D+ D0 F
-------------------------------------------------------------
Grade Points 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0
Chapel and performance is indicated by letter grades,
and in some courses so prescribed, students may be given
a grade of "P" for pass or "F" for
fail. The GPA is calculated by multiplying grade points
by the number of credits of the courses.
