Undergraduate Degrees and Major Fields
The Traditional Undergraduate Program provides a comprehensive learning experience which includes an award-winning, broad-based, liberal-arts-focused General Education curriculum. All students select a major field of study which is typically the focus of the last two years of study. A minor field of study is optional, although many major fields of study will also require a minor. The General Education curriculum is designed to equip students with skills in critical thinking, oral and written communication, along with a heightened appreciation of cultural, social, and scientific achievements, and an awareness of the course of western history. Gardner-Webb's distinctive General Education program also includes biblical studies as well as opportunities to engage personal faith with learning. Career preparation is a key theme that runs throughout the undergraduate experience, including internship opportunities and other high-impact active-learning experiences. The following are the types of undergraduate degrees along with major fields of study offered by Gardner-Webb University.
