Science Education Major
Bachelor of Science Degree
The physical world is governed by absolute laws instituted by God at creation. Students should
learn the accumulated knowledge of scientific principles from the past so they may see God’s
handiwork in the physical universe; then they can participate in God’s command to man in
Genesis 1:28 to “subdue [the earth], and have dominion over . . . every living
thing.” God has ordained and commanded mankind to search out and use natural scientific
laws to improve man’s existence on earth; therefore, scientific technology and research are
encouraged.
Academic Program Fee: $100 per semester or $25 per payment.
