Alabama Christian College of Arts and Sciences

In the College of Arts and Sciences, faculty help students achieve excellence by establishing high expectations, making challenging concepts accessible, and providing personal, caring support.

The College of Arts and Sciences provides the heart of the liberal arts core curriculum. Every other Faulkner degree program is built upon this foundation of the liberal arts core. The study of the liberal arts is approached through the lens of a Christian worldview and includes the study of the Bible and general education courses as part of the core curriculum. Historically understood, the study of the liberal arts helps students acquire knowledge and understanding as a good in itself, shape their moral character, prepare them for a useful career in the community, and helps them understand themselves in relation to God and humanity.
