With more than 100 academic programs, our holistic education provides both breadth and depth. Breadth is offered across the curriculum with coursework in the arts, sciences, and humanities, with the goal of preparing students for life. Depth is provided through the major, which focuses on preparation for work in a specific field. At SBU, a Christian worldview is the primary lens for learning. Breadth and depth in a Christian liberal arts setting also means a focus on critical thinking so that non-Christian perspectives are examined (but not endorsed) and students are prepared to serve in secular careers and in service to Christ.","field_su_tb_additional_info":{"value":"SBU offers significant financial aid packages to students in order to make the cost of college more manageable.
