Christian Education

Courses in Christian Studies, as part of the general education curriculum, offer all students the opportunity to learn about and to develop an appreciation for Christianity on an intellectual level. Chapel services, held three times a week, feature music that speaks to the heart and talks that invite students to think about the meaning of life and their place in society.

Cross-cultural Education

Launched in 1971, the international student exchange program promotes one-year or one-semester exchanges between SGU and over 100 partner universities in 36 countries. To date, approximately 2,000 SGU students have taken part in the program, applying the insights gained through firsthand experience to various fields around the world. In addition, short-term language training programs are offered during spring and summer breaks, along with a variety of other initiatives to encourage interaction with international students.

Small Classes

Because of the importance of personal communication between students and professors, first and second year students are each assigned to an extracurricular class supervised by a professor; in this way it is possible for each student to get individual guidance.
Discussion-based classes with relatively few students are available not only for foreign language and Christian Studies courses but for specialized courses as well.
All students in their junior and senior years can enroll in a seminar and thus experience in a small-group setting the culmination of their four years of study.

Language/Computer Education

The language laboratory is fully equipped with advanced audio-visual equipment and a wide range of learning materials, and offers a broad selection of language courses.
In the area of computer education, data processing courses are available to students across all departments, and personal computers are provided for student use.
