Christian Emphasis In Academics North Greenville University believes that the truths found in Holy Scriptures permeate every aspect of reality. All truth is ultimately from God. Therefore, a commitment to academic excellence can be an integral component in the maturation of one’s faith. Faculty members are dedicated to study ways in which matters of faith can be integrated into the classroom experience. Students are then encouraged to participate in the process of integrating faith and learning. North Greenville University strives to be a place where graduates will leave with both an understanding of their chosen fields of endeavor and an appreciation for how the truths of Scripture apply to those areas.

Such a curriculum will enable students to develop a broad knowledge of civilization, literature, religious traditions, and the human condition needed for successful interaction with individuals and institutions. Specific general education requirements may be found listed within each major, each of which requires a minimum of thirty (30) general education hours.
