Foundations are really important.
A house built on a poor foundation cannot stand for long. You don’t have to read many studies to recognize that a growing number of students quit attending church after they graduate from high school. While numerous factors contribute to this problem, we believe it is primarily an issue of foundations. The aim of our new program is to help students strengthen their biblical foundation for a life long impact.

The Worldview Studies Certificate is an intensive 33 college-credit-hour program designed to be completed in one academic year and is intended to help establish a foundation in a biblical worldview in first-time students preparing for further studies in the university. In addition to their coursework, students will be challenged spiritually as they take part in our engaging student life culture and participate in the many events and programs on campus.
Imagine talking about the Christian origins of academics in North America as you walk across the historic campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.. That’s exactly what students will experience for their capstone course, “Christianity on the Secular Campus.” The program will conclude with a trip to Boston for the final class to be taught by Dr. Bland Mason, a graduate of Southern Seminary and the chaplain to the Boston Red Sox.
