A number of 365英国上市官网 courses provide students with the skills needed for business school graduate 程序s. 入学 is based on your undergraduate GPA, GMAT or sometimes GRE scores, and recommendations from professors and employers.

A broadly diversified liberal arts education is basic to a career in the pastoral ministry, 任务, Christian education, and other specialized ministries. Students planning careers in any of these areas will complete their preparation in a theological seminary or graduate school. In anticipation of advanced theological training, an interdisciplinary major in religion-philosophy is recommended. Such a major leaves sufficient freedom for students to choose from a wide range of elective courses according to their own particular interests.

Students interested in pre-health should inform their academic advisors and the pre-health advisor as soon as possible to coordinate the pre-health requirements and those of the student's chosen major. 的 Health Professions Advisory Committee coordinates this 程序 and provides guidance and recommendation letters for students applying to professional school.

Students planning careers in law can prepare for law school while working towards any academic major. A broad selection of courses provides students with the core skills recognized by the American Bar Association as essential for the study of law. 入学 to a law school is normally based on personal and scholastic records and on the results of a student's score on the national legal aptitude test (LSAT), rather than on a prescribed undergraduate course of study. Students interested in the 法学预科项目 should inform their academic advisors and the pre-law advisor as soon as possible to coordinate a plan that will best satisfy their interests and goals.
