Minors

The minors in the various departments of the University are designed to help the student majoring in one area to concentrate some of his or her studies in a second area of interest. The minors are not comprehensive, but are structured so that a student may gain a meaningful exposure to another discipline. Having completed a minor, a student should have a grasp of the nature of the discipline and should be equipped to do further work in the area, if so desired. The minor may only be added to a four-year degree program.

Supporting Programs

North Central offers a unique curriculum of supporting programs that is extremely flexible. Students may, in many cases, tailor an academic program to match their career goals and interests. Supporting programs have been designed to allow students to build a program that places special emphasis on their specific callings.

When designing an academic program, all students are required to complete the general education and Bible/theology programs. Then the student may select a major core and a supporting program or a major core and general electives.
