Chair: Dr. James Zapf

The Humanities and Social Science Department offers majors that lead to Bachelor of Arts and Science degrees. It also offers courses that support other departments and programs of the College. The department believes that a background of the humanities provides students with a framework to integrate studies from other disciplines that will encourage intellectual and spiritual development. The broad liberal arts dimension of the majors offered by the department serves as a foundation for a variety of vocations and for further study at the graduate level.

A particular goal of the department is to provide undergraduate preparation for students who will seek graduate training for various phases of Christian service, including pastoral and missionary careers. Students work with an academic advisor to select a minor and electives that will help them achieve their vocational goals. The department offers the broad biblical and general educational foundations that evangelical seminaries and the American Association of Theological Schools suggest as prerequisite for seminary and ministry-oriented graduate schools.

Each of the majors in the Humanities and Social Science Department can accommodate students in the Honors Program. All Crown students have access to several study-abroad programs where a full semester of course work may be transferred into the English, General Studies, History, and Liberal Arts programs. Crown also has a participation agreement with Focus on the Family Institute which provides students with an opportunity to earn credit for a semester in residence at Colorado Springs. Students receive prior approval from the Department Chair as to how Institute courses will be applied to their Crown programs.

A two-year Associate of Arts degree is offered for students who desire an associate’s degree and those who plan to transfer to another institution to complete a baccalaureate degree.
