The General Education program at Seattle Pacific is designed to help students pursue the path of wisdom and engage the culture with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each component of the Exploratory Curriculum makes a distinctive contribution to this goal.
People of wisdom understand their place in God’s world, see life from a variety of perspectives, discern the appropriate use of knowledge, and thoughtfully evaluate ideas and claims. To that end, in the Exploratory Curriculum, you will take 35 total credits — 30 credits from “Ways of Knowing” courses and 5 credits from “Ways of Engaging” courses.
Ways of Knowing Arts Courses
