COLLEGE MISSION, OBJECTIVES & AFFILIATIONS K IV <br />semester in biblical studies. Students enrolled in a 4 -year degree pro- <br />gram earn a minimum of 30 credits (the equivalent of a second major). <br />Nontraditional, degree -completion students also take a proportionate <br />number of classes in biblical studies. <br />General Education: The general education curriculum at Northwestern <br />College is designed to enhance students' understanding of God and <br />His creation. To this end the curriculum encourages students to be <br />grounded in all aspects of life based on the Scriptures within a variety <br />of disciplines. General education exposes students to knowledge of <br />Western and non -Western culture, literature, the fine arts, knowledge <br />of fundamental scientific and mathematical principles, and the knowl- <br />edge of human growth and development within a social context. The <br />teaching of general education is designed to develop the student's abil- <br />ity to think critically, to reason analytically, to solve problems, and to <br />communicate effectively in speaking and writing. It supports the gen- <br />eral goal of the College to prepare students intellectually, emotionally, <br />physically, spiritually, and socially for life in the church and society, <br />and to be of service to God and others. <br />Majors and Professional Preparation: Northwestern is dedicated to assist- <br />ing students in their development of marketable skills in selected areas, <br />particularly in businesses or professions equally useful in either sacred <br />or secular enterprises. Northwestern uses the term "vocation" in its <br />literal meaning (i.e., God's calling), believing that it is the Christian's <br />responsibility to serve God's purpose in every aspect of life. <br />Campus Life Objectives Northwestern seeks to provide a God -honoring environment that <br />includes wholesome living, aesthetic enjoyment, relationship building, <br />social and cultural opportunity, and athletic and recreational activity. <br />Accreditations +Affiliation Northwestern College is... <br />accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of <br />the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. <br />... incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota as a College of <br />the Bible, Arts and Sciences, and Professional Education. <br />... is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office <br />(MHESO). <br />NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PARTNERS & SIRNY ARCHITECTS PAGE 4.2 <br />
