1981-1982 Academic Catalog

One-Year Bible Program The college offers a concentrated program for the student who desires a formal education in Bible before he pursues his vocation at home or engages in a field of technical study not available in a Christian school. It is designed so that the student can function as a more knowledgeable layman in his local church. This curricu– lum is outlined in the Biblical Education section of the catalog. Internships Many of the major fields of study include opportunitites to re– ceive credit for supervised, on-the-job activities. Interested stu– dents should contact respective department chairmen for details. Independent Study As a result of the need for college students to develop a high de– gree of independence in their ability to choose and investigate problems, a special program in independent study has been organ– ized. The objectives of the program include the provision for stu– dents to explore areas not covered in normal course structure, the provision of opportunities for self-motivation, and provision of opportunities for faculty and students to work closely on special– ized projects. It is a college objective to encourage student travel to foreign countries. Credit may be earned for such experience under the In– dependent Study Program. 11 Although the individual students and faculty members are to work together on the development of criteria for successful com– pletion of an independent study project, the following rules serve as guiding principles in the operation of the program: 1. No student may enroll for more than one independent study project during the same term. 2. Hours granted for anyone independent study shall not exceed four quarter hours. 3. The faculty member supervising the independent study must review and initial the student's copy of the written proposal and the registration card. Registration for the independent study should be done at the beginning of the quarter in which the work is to be completed. 4. No more than eight hours in independent study may be count– ed toward the major field, no more than four hours toward a minor field; and no more than sixteen may be counted toward graduation. Independent study should not be taken outside of major and minor fields without written approval of the depart– ment chairman and the academic dean. 5. Juniors and seniors are eligible for independent study. Sopho– mores may be considered to be eligible if they also have the ap– proval of the academic dean and department chairman. 6. Grade point average shall not be a qualificatior:i for independ– ent study, although the faculty member has the right to deny student participation for any reason the faculty member deems appropriate. 7. The grades of CrediUNo Credit may be used, as well as the regular grades, at the discretion of the participating faculty member.
