The General Studies Core and Biblical Studies Core that each student completes create the biblical and liberal arts foundation of every Maranatha program. Although the cores are designed to provide a standard set of requirements, students may test out of many of these courses, providing them with more flexibility to choose a course they are interested in. Students also have the option to declare a Bible minor.
Courses in red are required. Courses in black are electives. Check the course descriptions for how to satisfy prerequisites.
