General Education (G.E.) Graduation Requirements

This is an example General Education (G.E.) checklist for most B.S., B.A., or B.M. degrees, as outlined in the 2025-26 academic catalog. Please refer to your relevant degree checklist for complete details.

SCRIPTURE SET (21 units)

  • B101,2 Old Testament Survey I, II
  • B121 Essentials of Christian Thought
  • B201,2 New Testament Survey I, II
  • BTH321,2 Christian Theology I, II

In the standard four-year curriculum, students typically complete seven biblical studies courses, earning a total of 21 units. To earn a minor in Biblical Studies, however, 24 units are required. This means students must take one additional approved biblical studies course to meet the requirement. Students transferring with ≥ 61 total units may need to satisfy fewer than 7 Bible G.E. courses as evaluated and confirmed by the Registrar’s Office before starting the student’s first undergraduate semester. All other students must fulfill all 7 Bible G.E.

  • C100 Spoken Communication
