The Student Experience

Why Students Love This Second Major

Students at Grace already complete the full Bible & Theology Core. These courses build a strong foundation in Scripture, interpretation, ministry skills, and daily Christian living. When you pass all core courses with a minimum grade of C-, you can add Christian Studies as a second major.

You’ll grow in biblical knowledge, sharpen your calling, and prepare for effective service in church, workplace, and community settings. You strengthen your confidence in Scripture and develop skills that support future ministry or leadership roles.

What the Christian Studies Major Includes

The second major draws from your completed core courses. It adds upper-division electives that deepen your understanding of:

  • Bible Interpretation

     

  • Christian Doctrine

     

  • Ministry Practice

     

  • Spiritual Leadership

     

  • Theology & Culture

     

Because your core already covers most requirements, you graduate with two majors instead of one, without extending your program or adding cost.

I am continually blown away by how intentional the professors and students are at Grace. I could not be more pleased with the decision I made to pursue a Communications degree. God has taught me through Grace, that people matter, and how we choose to communicate has the power to change lives.

The Business program at Grace is ministry-focused. It’s about learning how to use what you study to serve in any way God calls you. I really liked the community aspect and how Grace is so focused on ministry in every part of your life — no matter what you end up doing. The community has really shaped me — especially this year — by challenging each other and helping us grow into people who follow God in every part of our lives.

The Human Services program here at Grace Christian University equips students to serve God and others in their community. The professors really care for you as a person. They don’t just care about grading your assignments — they want to see you grow. We do a lot of hands-on experience, getting outside and working through real scenarios. During my first year, God placed on my heart a passion to serve others.

The Biblical Studies program is transformational. If you’re looking for a place that teaches the Bible, with professors who care about you and small class sizes where you can have one-on-one discussions —this is the place to be. The professors are kind and truthful about the Gospel. It’s a great place to learn the Word of the Lord. The professors here have changed my way of thinking. Conversations with people like Kyle Van and Jake Rogers have helped me learn and talk through hard topics.

The Criminal Justice program at Grace is full of tons of opportunities and it’s super exciting. You get to go on different trips, experience what it’s really like, and meet officers in the field.

The Psychology program at Grace Christian is eye-opening. The professors are great — very encouraging. It’s one-on-one, with wonderful internship opportunities and amazing guest speakers. Going into a mental health field can be heavy, so I wanted faith incorporated into my career. That’s what drew me to Grace.
