President’s Remarks
Welcome home! For the past forty-six years, Christ’s College has sought to establish a place of fellowship where
students may come and feel the love of a Christian community. For many of you, this is probably your first experience
studying and living in a Christian environment. We welcome you with open arms and we trust that your time at Christ’s
College will allow you to know and understand Christ and the joys of Christian fellowship.
Community is what we are about. Here at Christ’s College you will not only get an excellent liberal arts education and
some professional skills, but will learn how to relate better with others and even with yourself. All of our students live on
campus as do many of our faculty and staff. The small college environment of Christ’s College allows for many hours of
interaction each week with classmates, roommates, teachers and others beyond the normal classroom interaction. This
community atmosphere creates graduates that go out into the workforce with professional skills, and with the relational and
social skills that employers are looking for!
Throughout the forty-six years of Christ’s College, we have had a simple mission. Our mission is to provide a quality
Christian education for you so that you will be equipped to face the challenges the world throws your way. We strongly
believe that the best way to prepare you for these future challenges is to help you grow in your Christian faith by creating an
environment that is academically, socially and spiritually demanding.
Are you up for the challenge? If so, welcome to the Christ’s College community!
Dr. Tien-jiunn Tseng
Christ’s College President

History of Christ’s College
Christ's College started as a vision of Dr. James R. Graham. In 1952, Dr. Graham began itinerating across the United
States and succeeded in founding the Free China Christian College Association. In the spring of 1957, he purchased a twoacre plot of land on a hilltop near Danshui, a suburb of Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, Republic of China. The
construction of buildings was begun, equipment was purchased, and 14 people were employed as faculty and staff, with Dr.
Graham serving as president of the college. The motto, "The fear of Lord is the beginning of wisdom", became the goal for
the development of the students at Christ's College. On October 1, 1959, a founding service was held with 73 initial students.
At that time two majors were offered (Mathematical Sciences and Humanities), but all students were required to take Bible,
Chinese, English, World History, and Conversation. After 1959, the number of students continued to grow and in 1963,
Christ's College held its first graduation ceremony. In the spring of 1966, the Ministry of Interior in Taiwan recognized
Christ's College as a religious institution and registered the school accordingly. By 1967, the school had grown to some 300
students. In 1975, Dr. Graham transferred the ownership of the college to the Presbyterian Church in America.
The college is presently under the leadership of Dr. Tien-jiunn Tseng with more than 70 full-time Christian faculty and
staff endeavoring to impact students both spiritually and academically. Since 1963, Christ’s College has graduated 5024
1
students and current enrollment is around 690.
The distinctive purpose of Christ’s College is to provide a Christian liberal arts education for the youth of Taiwan.
Therefore, no matter which major a student selects, all students are required to include at least 20 credit hours of Bible
courses as part of their core requirements. The administration and faculty at Christ’s College believe that having a strong
biblical foundation provides the essential starting point for all branches of study and for all the vocations of life. At present,
the College offers nine majors within five departments. The five current departments at Christ’s College are: Administration
Management, English, Information Management, Mass Communications and Music.
Besides being recognized by the Ministry of Interior in Taiwan, Christ’s College has also been affiliated with the
Coalition for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) since l999 and was granted candidacy status with the Transnational
Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) on April 9, 2003. The College is currently going through the
TRACS self-study process and anticipates receiving full accreditation with TRACS in 2006. Presently, Christ’s College also
has three master’s programs with three Christian universities in the United States, Dallas Baptist University (MBA program),
Azusa University (MA in TESOL) and Regent University (MA in Mass Communications). Recently, the Ministry of
Education (MOE) in Taiwan began to recognize religious institutions. Therefore, on May 7, 2004 Christ’s College applied
for recognition by the MOE. Registration with the MOE is still pending.
Building a strong Christian faith in the lives of our students, while providing a solid academic foundation for them, is
the goal of Christ’s College. This includes evangelism (since approximately 50% of the students at Christ’s College enter as
non-Christians) and discipleship training so that our students will be prepared to be witnesses for Christ in the churches and
communities of Taiwan, Asia and the World.
The Lord has been richly blessing Christ’s College since its founding, and we look forward to the future with the hope that
He will continue to sustain and establish Christ’s College as a prominent Christian liberal arts college, dedicated to training
and educating Chinese youth for the church and for society, for the glory of His Kingdom.
Doctrinal Statement
1.
We believe the Old and New Testaments are God’s Word, inerrant in the original writing, that they are God’s direct
revelation, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
2.
We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3.
We believe in the sovereignty of God in creation, in redemption, and as Ruler of all of life.
4.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, in true righteousness and holiness, that because he disobeyed God
he fell from righteousness and is under the penalty and curse of sin-eternal death- is totally depraved and unable to save
himself.
5.
We believe Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, is true God and true man, that He died
on the cross, shed His blood to redeem sinners and satisfy God’s righteousness, that He was buried, that on the third day
He arose bodily, that He ascended into heaven and now sits at God the Father’s right hand, that He will return in glory to
judge the earth, raising the just to everlasting blessing and the unjust to everlasting punishment. We believe there is a
personal evil spirit called Satan; that he was created good but rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. Always a
created being and under God’s authority, Satan was defeated by Christ in His death and resurrection. Those who are
redeemed by grace through faith in Christ are enabled to live in triumph over Satan and sin.
6.
We believe Jesus Christ is the only Way, the Truth, and the Life; therefore we believe the fear of Jehovah God is the
beginning of wisdom and knowledge.
7.
We believe the Holy Spirit’s regeneration and power through Jesus Christ completes salvation, that He eternally lives in
believers’ hearts, enables sinners to acknowledge sin and repent, to be justified by faith, that He enables all believers to
become members of the body of Christ, to grow in grace, to live for Christ, and to serve Christ by building up the church
and ministering the gospel to the world.
2
8.
We believe every Christian’s world-and-life view should reflect Christ’s sovereignty as Lord, His covenant with the
redeemed, and enabling by the Holy Spirit’s call and power to live and serve as member of His spiritual kingdom, in
Christ body the church, manifest through loving service.
Mission Statement
Christ’s College is a bilingual institution of higher education based on Biblical truth for Chinese students dedicated to:
1.
Providing quality education to equip students both in Christian character and professional abilities as life-long
learners.
2.
Evangelizing and disciplining students in the Christian faith in a loving and nurturing environment.
3.
Training students to go into the world and become Christ’s change agents and competent Christian leaders at church
and in the marketplace guided by Christian world and life view.
Governing Values
1.
We believe that Scripture is the final authority for the discovery of all truth.
2.
We seek to administer the college in accordance with the principles of Scripture..
3.
We teach Bible courses as an integral part of the curriculum, and teach all other disciplines from a biblical perspective.
4.
We are committed to excellence in providing Christian education, which develops the whole person.
5.
We strive to recruit and maintain faculty and staff who provide quality teaching and demonstrate Christian character.
6.
We strive to maintain an environment that encourages meaningful Christian fellowship among students, faculty and staff.
7.
We regard our students to be the primary consideration in both the educational process and the quality of campus life.
8.
We seek to lead all students to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
9.
We believe that the discipleship of Christian students is an integral part of the educational process.
10. We are committed to evangelizing Chinese and to the building of the church.
Academic Freedom Statement
Christ's College is a Christian liberal arts institution. As such, we uphold the principle of academic freedom.
1. Faculty members have freedom to explore the truth revealed in special revelation i.e., the Bible, and in general revelation
i.e., all of creation the world of nature, human nature, and history. Because all creation is from God and all revelation is
from Him, no correct understanding of general revelation will contradict special revelation. Therefore, we encourage
faculty members to help students study different world-and-life views and explore truth in every field of study.
2. Academic freedom, however, must be pursued in the context of a commitment to the truth as revealed in the World of God.
The College doctrinal statement forms the perspective from which we study and teach all truth. All faculty members
voluntarily indicate their agreement with and promotion of the doctrinal statement on an annual basis. They pursue their
task of academic research and teaching with the context of liberty guided and guarded by the unchanging truth of God of
Word, convinced that this basic truth does not hinder but rather facilitates their pursuit of better understanding of all truth.
3. We make no effort to compel students to accept Christ and a Christian world-and-life view. As a Christian institution of
higher education, we understand that a Christian world-and-life view can only become a reality to those who voluntarily
and sincerely trust in Jesus Christ. All faculty members indicate their commitment to Christ and Christian doctrine.
Although they will teach from a Christian standpoint, they are free to discuss differing views and doctrines, seeking to help
students understand and accept a Christian world-and-life view.
3
Ethical Values and Standards
Christ's College is an evangelical Christian academic community. The name “Christ's College” constantly reminds us of
this. All faculty and staff members are Christian, and more than 50% of the students are believers. Together, we strive to
bring all non-believing students to the faith.
As this is a Christian college, all members of the College community, whether believers or not, are expected to maintain
basic Biblical standards of conduct. Some of these are stated explicitly in the Bible. The Bible is not specific about all
matters of behavior, and each Christian community must develop principles and standards, as they seem consistent with the
Bible and applicable in their situation. We realize that not all members of the Christ's College community will have personal
convictions about every standard of conduct, but all are expected to live by them while part of this community.
1.
The Scriptures positively teaches that we should live together with mutual forgiveness and love.
2.
They also teach us to develop our spiritual, mental, social, and physical aspects, seeking to become mature and balanced
and available for His purposes in our lives.
3.
Explicitly forbidden in the Bible are: dishonesty, theft, vandalism, sexual immorality (fornication, adultery, homosexual
behavior), immodesty, profanity, gossip, and drunkenness.
4.
Clearly taught in the Bible is our respect for government, and we are expected to uphold the laws of the community and
nation.
5.
In a Christian academic community, Biblical standards prohibit academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism,
misappropriation of library materials or other property.
6.
Each person’s body is created by God and for His glory, and Christian realizes that their bodies are temples indwelt by
the Holy Spirit. Members of the Christ's College community will refrain from having or using harmful substances such
as un-prescribed stimulants, or hallucinogenic drugs.
7.
Christians are also members of one body, Christ, and should live in such a way that they will encourage one another in
godly living and avoid becoming stumbling blocks to others. In this Christian academic community, we will abstain from
the use of tobacco and alcohol on campus.
8.
Gambling, pornographic materials and attendance at performances that include or encourage these will be avoided.
9.
For an orderly life on campus, students are also expected to abide by other regulations found in the Catalog and the
Student Handbook.

Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
Christ’s College is also affiliated with the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) located at 321 Eighth

CCCU is affiliated with the Oxford Summer School Program in England.
CCCU and other organizations offer several internships and/or other credit-earning opportunities in a variety of disciplines
throughout the year. Christ’s College students are encouraged to apply for such opportunities; however, students who receive
financial aid or scholarship funds at Christ’s College and are seeking academic credit from another institution need to confirm
the source of funds to cover expenses to be incurred at that institution. At the time of the internship application, the student is
responsible for verifying the availability of financial aid with the Christ’s College Student Affairs Office. Christ’s College
“non-funded” scholarships, or tuition waivers, are not available to cover costs at other institutions. The faculty contact for
each program will verify academic credit with the Registrar’s Office.
International Activity

American Studies Program
The American Studies Program (ASP) in Washington, D.C. is a semester-long internship/seminar program for juniors and
seniors in most majors with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher who are interested in having “real world” on-the-job
experiences and in exploring current national and international issues with Washington professionals. Students may earn up
to 16 credit hours toward their degree. The program is designed to help students from Christian colleges throughout North
America gain the experiences they need to live and work in a faithfully biblical way in society and in their chosen
professional fields.

Cooperative Master Programs
Currently, Christ’s College has three cooperative master’s programs. The cooperative masters programs are set up where
students take approximately half of their required courses at Christ’s College and then fulfill the remaining requirements in
the United States at the cooperative institution. The actual master’s degree is awarded by the institution in the United States.
The cooperative masters programs are:
Master of Business Administration (MBA) in cooperation with Dallas Baptist University in Dallas, Texas.
Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) in cooperation with Azusa Pacific University in
Azusa, California.
Masters in Mass Communication in cooperation with Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

SPIRITUAL AFFAIRS
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
Christ’s College seeks to create a sense of understanding and wisdom within our students by placing at the core of our
community the idea that all students need a mind-felt and heartfelt knowledge of the Holy One. This is accomplished in
various ways. The two key components are the teaching of God’s word (2 Timothy 3:16) and Christian fellowship (Book of
Acts 2:42, I Gospel of John 1:3). In order to gain spiritual wisdom and understanding, students must have knowledge of the
Holy Scriptures and a chance to live out their faith in a supportive environment. This is accomplished through required Bible
and faith-related courses, weekly chapel services, evening devotions, daily interaction with the community of believers at
Christ’s College and various co-curricular activities. It is our goal that students will leave Christ’s College with a deep rooted
faith in Christ which will allow them to stand firm in all circumstances of life no matter what professional career they
eventually choose.
With this goal in mind, the College offers several services to help students grow in their relationship to the Lord. They
include: offering Bible and faith-related courses, spiritual counseling, evangelical ministry opportunities on campus as well
as opportunities for students to serve others off campus. These are all explained in more detail below.
Bible and Faith-Related Courses
Twenty credits of Bible and faith-related courses are required for graduation. This includes 16 credits of required
courses and 4 credits of elective courses. These 20 credit hours are included among the general core curriculum requirements.
Required Courses: Every student at Christ’s College is required to take the following Bible and Faith-Related courses.

Spiritual Counseling
Recognizing the importance of the spiritual aspect of a student’s life, the College has set up several avenues for students
to receive spiritual counseling. These include pastoral counseling from the staff in the chaplain’s office, spiritual advisement
from dorm counselors and class advisors, and non-professional peer counseling from their dorm room leaders. The
Chaplain’s Office is staffed with seminary graduates who have been trained to offer spiritual guidance for students. Dorm
counselors and class advisors periodically attend training seminars meant to help them improve their abilities to meet the
spiritual needs of our students. Finally, the vast majority of dorm leaders are strong Christians who have a heart for
discipleship and evangelism. These leaders are provided with training prior to becoming a dorm leader and are counseled
throughout the year by the Student Affairs Office staff. Beyond these on campus opportunities for spiritual counseling,
Christ’s College encourages students to become actively involved in a local church.
Evangelical Ministries on Campus
1.
Chapel Services: Chapel services are held three times per week for the purpose of providing opportunities for students to
know God and to grow in their spiritual lives. All students are required to attend and faculty and staff are strongly
encouraged to attend as many chapel services as possible in order to help maintain a sense of community on campus.
Currently, chapel meets on Mondays (11:00 – 11:50am), Wednesdays (11:00-11:50am) and Fridays (10:00 – 11:50am).
2.
Evening Devotions: An evening devotional time from 9:30 – 10:00 is set aside for each evening the students live on
campus (typically Sunday through Thursday evenings). These evening devotionals take place in the student dorm rooms
and are led by the student dorm leader or assistant leader. Sunday evening devotions take place in the chapel and are
arranged by the Chaplain’s Office. Periodically, dorm rooms will be invited to have evening devotions with a faculty or
staff member on Wednesday evening. All of these devotions are required.
3.
Class Worship: The students are placed in classes when they enter Christ’s College. These classes have between 15 to
35 students and students often remain in their class throughout their time at Christ’s College. Each class has a
spiritual/academic advisor who ministers to the students throughout the year. One of the major times of ministry is
during class worship time. Class worship occurs approximately once a month with the faculty advisor leading the
worship time.
4.
Graham Fellowship Caring Groups: These groups care for students who have recently accepted Christ and/or student
seekers (students who have expressed an interest in the gospel but have yet to accept Christ). The groups meet on
Tuesday evenings and are organized by student leaders and a faculty advisor. All students who have recently accepted
Christ or are interested in joining a fellowship group that looks at the basics of Christian living in a practical, relational
way are encouraged to attend.
5.
∆ΑΚ Club (Leadership Training): The Delta Alpha Kappa Club is made up of a group of students who have been
selected by the Student Affairs Office for their potential as future leaders. The goals of the ∆ΑΚ Club are to train and
equip future leaders for Christian service. Students interested should complete an application form in the Student Affairs
9
Office.
6.
Faculty Bible Studies: Informal Bible studies are run by several faculty members each year in either English or Chinese.
Students interested in attending a small group Bible study are encouraged to ask the Chaplain’s Office or their
Department Chair for a list of Bible study topics and the names of faculty members teaching these courses.
7.
Student-Led Groups: Several groups of students meet informally for prayer, fellowship, and/or Bible study each year.
Students interested in finding out more about these informal groups should meet with the Student Government spiritual
leader or talk with the Student Affairs Office.
8.
Various Short-Term Training Seminars: The Chaplain’s Office provides training for students who are involved in
ministry. Training programs exist for dorm leaders, ministry association leaders, fellowship group leaders, and students
interested in being worship leaders during chapel. Beyond these training seminars for students, the Chaplain’s Office
also provides training seminars for faculty and staff in order to help them become more effective spiritual advisors for

Student Government Led Activities: Activities organized by the Student Government include: a scripture memory
contest, a hymn singing contest, Christmas caroling, and various other activities. All of these activities help to light up
the campus with a vibrant spiritual climate.
Evangelical Ministries off Campus
1.
The Student Gospel Ministry Associations: The purpose of these organizations is to train students to reach a specific
people group within Taiwan for Christ. Ministry often centers around the training of teenagers and children by helping
them to build a view of life that is more centered on biblical values. These organizations are run by student leaders with
the help of a faculty/staff advisor. The members are mainly Christians. Currently there are five ministry associations
reaching five different people groups. The ministry activities are held during the summer and winter breaks with training
taking place Tuesday evenings during the regular semesters. The current ministry associations are:
a.
The Mountain Association – reaching out to aboriginals living in the remote mountain areas of Taiwan
b.
The Plains Association – reaching out to aboriginals who have moved from the mountains to live in the cities of
Taiwan
2.
c.
The Seed Association – reaching out to fishermen in Taiwan
d.
Shr Ma Ku Shr Group – reaching out to the Shr Ma Ku Shr minority group in Taiwan
e.
The Hualien Gospel Group – Sunday school training in Hualien
Internship Training in America: Beginning in 2001, selected students (usually TESOL major students) have been invited
by American churches to take part in vacation Bible school programs and/or other activities. Students live with a church
family, attend church services and help out at a local Christian school. This allows students to see Christianity lived out
in a different culture and for them to understand more about different teaching philosophies. There have been
approximately 10 different churches participating in this program with over 30 Christ’s College students participating.
This program is run in cooperation with the English Department.
3.
Church Attendance: Students are expected to attend church services each Sunday. Students who are not able to attend
their home church must select one of the local churches as their church home while studying at Christ’s College.

STUDENT LIFE AND SERVICES
As a Christian institution, Christ’s College aspires to be a community of faculty, staff and students committed to the
study and evaluation of the various branches of learning in the light of the Bible, God’s infallible Word. The life of this
community has both its academic and social aspects, and in both of these all members of the Christ’s College community
seek to glorify the triune God.
A quality campus environment is essential to a well rounded education. Here at Christ’s College, we believe that a large
part of a students’ education is obtained outside of the classroom. Therefore, the College provides several opportunities for
students to get involved in a wide variety of activities from ministry, student government, athletics, music and other theme
specific clubs (The ministry/spiritual activities have been previously mentioned under the Spiritual Affairs section of this
catalog with the other activities listed below.).
Beyond the co-curricular activities, Christ’s College also offers several services for students. These services, the cocurricular activities and a discussion of student conduct and behavior are all mentioned in this section of the College Catalog.
Student Co-Curricular Activities
1.
Student Government: The Student Government is an organization governed by students on the Christ’s College campus.
It represents the student body and sponsors and organizes activities that will help promote a sense of community on
campus. There are 18 elected members of the student government including the student body president. These members
are elected annually in the spring. Besides their elected duties, each of the elected members also serves on a
faculty/student committee in order for students to have input in the major decision-making processes of Christ’s College.
The Student Government meets weekly to discuss issues of concern and to plan activities for the Christ’s College
community.
2.
Organizations and Clubs: There are a variety of student run clubs and organizations on campus. Each one is organized
around a specific purpose but all clubs are meant to help build community at Christ’s College and should be run in such a
way that the Lord’s name is honored. All campus clubs and student organizations in the College are managed by the
Student Affairs Office, Extracurricular Activity Section. Each club must have a minimum of one faculty member to serve
as their advisor. Students who intend to set up a new student led club or organization should complete an application
along with a proposal no later than midterm week in any semester. A club or organization may be formed when promoted
by at least five students and after being approved by the Student Affairs Office. Further information on forming clubs and
organizations can be found in the Student Handbook. The following clubs and organizations currently are active at
Christ’s College:

participate in several music contests and join several musical activities that are offered over the course of the year. The
following musical activity groups are active on campus:
Vocal and Instrumental – These groups contribute to the social and cultural life of the individual and offer
opportunities for professional training and credit toward graduation.
Chorale – All students may audition for membership in the Chorale, an organization that studies representative
choral literature and performs several local concerts each year.
Ensembles—Ensembles and small groups are organized each year to study ensemble literature as well as perform.

Orchestra performs local concerts each year and makes periodic tours.

many other activities throughout the year. Students are encouraged to participate in these activities as an important part
of their college life. Some of these activities are:
The English Department drama performances
The college-sponsored travelogue series
The concert series
The Christmas banquet
Talent extravaganza
6.
College Publications: Christ’s College has several publications that are produced on a regular basis. Most of these
publications are either run by the students or a major component of the publication is student driven. Participating in one
of these publication groups offers students the chance to practically apply some of the skills they are learning in the
classroom. Currently, Christ’s College has the following publications.
College Report, the school newspaper, published monthly by the students.

Now available on the web.
College Alumni News, a publication sent to Christ’s College alumni to keep them informed about the College and events
that are happening.
Student Conduct & Behavior
In accordance with the Christian aim of Christ’s College, students are expected to express the Christian faith positively in
their general conduct and lifestyle. It is not the purpose or intention of Christ’s College to lay down minute regulations for
the daily conduct of its students. However, by their applications for admission, students certify that they intend to live
12
according to the Christian aims and policies of the College. A student will be asked to withdraw should he/she fail to
maintain proper standards of conduct or scholarship.
The basic ethical codes of conduct can be found in the Christ’s College Ethical Values & Standards Statement found in
this catalog. Upon entering Christ’s College students all sign a statement testifying that they will abide by these ethical
values as well as the Governing Values of the College. Further clarification of the conduct rules and regulations can be found
in the Student Handbook.
Student Services

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Presently, Christ’s College is registered under the Ministry of the Interior in Taiwan but is in the process of re-registering
under the Ministry of Education. Because of our current status Christ’s College does not participate in any financial
assistance program set up by the government of Taiwan for students in postsecondary education. However, this may change
after re-registering under the Ministry of Education. Presently, however, the College only offers financial support to students
in the form of scholarships and loans. The scholarships and loans are based on need and do not discriminate based on race,
gender, age, ethnic background, or physical handicaps.

Admissions
Christ’s College welcomes all students who are interested in receiving a quality education within the atmosphere of a
Christian liberal arts college. While there are requirements for admittance to Christ’s College (see below) all applicants will
be treated equally regardless of race, gender, age, physical handicap, or social economic status. Christ’s College also accepts
applicants of all religious beliefs as long as the applicant is willing to submit to the College’s governing values, ethical
standards, rules and regulations and shows a desire to at least understand the doctrinal statement of the College. Since
Christ’s College is a Christian institution established and run on Christian values and beliefs, applicants demonstrating
Christian maturity will be given preference. Of paramount importance, however, is a student’s willingness to learn and their
honest commitment to seek, understand and hopefully embrace a Christian worldview. These are all components valued by
the College’s Admissions Committee.
According to the school’s mission statement, Christ’s College is a bilingual Christian liberal arts institution established to
serve Chinese students by equipping them for future service in local churches and businesses. Therefore, the majority of
Christ’s College applicants are students from Taiwan whose native language is Chinese. Individuals not from Taiwan are
welcome to apply but must be at least conversant in Mandarin Chinese since the main language of instruction is Mandarin.
Applicants should also have had some training in English. Many courses are offered only in English (especially in the
English department) and a large number of courses use both Chinese and English as the medium of instruction.
Application for Admission: Individuals wishing to be admitted to Christ’s College must do the following:
1.
Complete the Admissions Application Form. The application form can be obtained from the Registrar in the Academic
Affairs Office. The application must be filled out completely and submitted before the due date each year. The
application form will list the date the application should be submitted.
2.
Applicants must submit a high school diploma or its equivalent plus high school transcripts along with the application
form.
3.
Submit a 500 word essay (Chinese or English) regarding past educational experiences and other interests.
4.
Submit two letters of recommendation from former high school instructors and/or from pastor.
5.
Any other documents would help provide Christ’s College with a better understanding of the applicant’s academic ability.
These may include standardized test scores (like the TOEFL, GEPT), certificates of performance in various educational
programs, etc…
6.
Along with the application form and other relevant documents, applicants should submit an application fee of 2,200 NT
for music majors and 1,500 NT for all other majors. The higher fee for music majors covers the cost of the entrance
audition.
7.
Attend one of the three entrance examinations offered each year. Applicants must receive a score of 300 or better on the
entrance exam to be accepted.
8.
Pass the oral interview. The interview takes place on the same day as the entrance exam.
Standards for Admission: Each applicant that has completed all of the above items, including passing the entrance exam and
the oral interview will be considered for acceptance. Students will be evaluated based on their entrance exam score, oral
interview, previous educational experiences, their written 500 word essay and the letters of recommendation. Students may
be called in for a second interview if there are more than enough qualified applicants and several applicants have similar
17
evaluative scores.
Applicants for English major will be interviewed in English.
Christ’s College reserves the right to accept some applicants who may have had lower evaluative scores than other applicants
based on the following criteria.
1.
There is no more space for one gender in the dorm while the other gender still has space available. For example, a
female student may perform better than a male student, but if the female dorms are already full and the male dorms
are not, the College may accept the male student over the female student.
2.
The applicant with a lower score is a Christian. According to the regulations of the Christ’s College Board of
Directors, at least 40% of each incoming freshmen class should be Christian. If the 40% threshold has not been met,
then the College may select a Christian student over a non-Christian student of higher ability.
Formal Acceptance of Admission: Christ’s College will notify all applicants who have been accepted soon after completion
of the entrance exam. Once accepted students should confirm their decision to attend Christ’s College by notifying the
Academic Affairs Office. They must also attend the freshmen orientation that takes place a week before the fall semester
begins, and pay their tuition and fees. During freshmen orientation, students will be assigned a dorm room, a class, meet the
faculty, and be explained the rules and regulations of the College, including the Christian principles that the College is
founded upon. Students during the orientation will be asked to sign an agreement that states they are willing to abide by the
rules and regulations of Christ’s College and that they will respect the Christian values and doctrines of the school no matter
what their own personal religious beliefs are. Students who are unwilling to sign will be refunded their tuition and fees and
will forfeit their right to be a Christ’s College student.
Transfer Student Admissions: Transfer students are students who already have credit hours from another postsecondary
institution. These students must have a high school diploma or its equivalent and must have attended a recognized university,
vocational or community college. Transfer students to Christ’s College must provide the following documents:
1.
A completed application form.
2.
A sealed transcript from their previous postsecondary institution(s).
3.
Application fee: 2,200 NT for music majors and 1,500 NT for all other majors. The extra music major fee covers the
entrance audition.
Transfer Credit: The Academic Affairs Office and the relevant Department Chair will examine the applicant’s transcript to
decide how many credits may be transferred and substituted for courses at Christ’s College. Transfer credits substituting for
English major course credits must have received a grade of 70 (out of 100) or higher and all other credits used to substitute
for a course must have received a grade of 60 or higher. Some credits that do not transfer directly to credits offered at
Christ’s College may still be transferred and used as elective credits (as long as the student’s score meets the 60/70
requirement above).
Accepted transfer credits may not amount to more than one-third of all credits required for graduation.
They also may not amount to over one-third of all credits required for any one major. Course credits that are considered
developmental/remedial, continuing education, college orientation, work co-op and extension courses are not transferable.
Students transferring to Christ’s College must also complete a three year residency requirement.
Returning Students: Students who have left the College for one or two semesters due to personal reasons or military service
and wish to return may contact the Registrar (of the Academic Affairs Office) to enquire about the procedures involved in
returning.
Graduate Admissions
Applications for admission are considered by the Graduate Admissions Committee. Currently, Christ’s College has three
18
cooperative masters programs. The cooperative masters programs are set up where students take approximately half of their
required courses at Christ’s College and then fulfill the remaining requirements in the United States at the cooperative
institution. The actual master’s degree is awarded by the institution in the United States. The cooperative masters programs
are:
Master of Business Administration (MBA) in cooperation with Dallas Baptist University in Dallas, Texas.
Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) in cooperation with Azusa Pacific University in
Azusa, California.
Masters in Mass Communication in cooperation with Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Requirements for Acceptance: The applicant’s academic record should show evidence of academic preparation and ability to
succeed in graduate studies. A satisfactory grade point average of 3.0 or higher is required for any applicant. A TOEFL score
of 550 (computer based 213) is also required before receiving admittance to the courses offered here at Christ’s College. If
the TOEFL requirements of the cooperative institution in the United States are higher than the 550 requirement established by
Christ’s College then students must meet that level before transferring to the institution in the U.S.A. Students must also get
a satisfactory score on either the GRE or GMAT standardized tests. Students should refer to the cooperative institutions
websites or contact them directly to find out what constitutes a satisfactory score. Finally, the applicant’s genuine motivation
for study is taken into consideration by the Graduate Admissions Committee. In some cases students may be accepted that do
not meet the qualifications above due to extenuating circumstances but the Committee feels have a strong motivation to
succeed.
Admission Procedures: Applications for admission to a graduate program are processed by the Graduate Admissions
Committee. All persons seeking admission must complete the graduate application form provided by Christ’s College as well
as the following:
1.
Official transcripts from each postsecondary institution attended, showing completion of a bachelor degree, a
grade point average of 3.0 or higher and completion of prerequisite course work at the undergraduate level;
2.
An official GRE/GMAT score;
3.
An official TOEFL score;
4.
Two letters of recommendation;
5.
A completed Statement of Purpose form that mentions the students reasons for seeking admission;
6.
A current resume (MBA applicants only);
7.
A non-refundable application fee of 1,000 NT
An applicant unable to complete one or more of these requirements due to extraordinary circumstances must petition for an
exemption to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Probationary Admission: In some cases the Graduate Admissions Committee may grant probationary admission to an
applicant lacking a 3.0 grade point average or the specified scores on the GRE/GMAT. Students admitted on probation will
be granted full admission upon successful completion of 12 credit hours of graduate level work. Students with probationary
admission must maintain a 3.0 grade point average and receive no grades below “B”.
Registration, Add/Drop and Withdrawals
Registration: Prior to the beginning of each semester, students will receive a registration notice notifying them about the
dates and times for them to register for courses. Courses may be registered online. A registration form that includes all of the
courses offered for that semester can also be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. Before being allowed to register, students
must have paid all required fees and any fines they have acquired. Students should complete the registration process within
the allotted time. Students who do not register will be considered as having dropped out of school. If a student neglects to
19
register in time they need to report to the Registrar’s Office in order to keep their status as a student. A late fee may be
assessed or the student may not be allowed to register depending on the circumstances.
Guidelines on Registering for Courses: Students registering for courses should follow the basic guidelines below:
1.
Early registration helps to guarantee a student will get the courses they want.
2.
Students may not register for courses that are offered at the same time.
3.
If there is a scheduling conflict, students should register in the following order: (1) required major course, (2)
required common-core course, (3) required elective in major, (4) required common-core elective, (5) general
elective.
4.
Students may not register for more courses than they are allowed to take based on the credit restrictions (see Credits
under the Grading System section of this College Catalog).
5.
Students may not register for courses that require a prerequisite when the student has not taken the prerequisite
course.
Christ’s College also reserves the right to close any class that has fewer than 15 students registered. If a class is closed
because of low registration, students may petition to have the class remain open if the class is a required class and the class
will not be offered again before they graduate. Formal petitions should be sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Some classes are limited in the number of students that can sign up. For example, most major specific courses are limited to
40 students (English major courses are limited to 35). Students wishing to sign up for a class that is already full must get the
approval of the faculty member teaching the course.
Dropping a Course: Students who decide to drop a course may do so without penalty up to the second week of the semester.
However, full-time students can not drop below the required number of credits for a full-time student (16 credit hours for
freshmen, sophomores and juniors and 9 credit hours for seniors). Also students who are attending a class where there are
only 15 students can not drop out unless special permission is granted by the Dean of Academic Affairs. This policy is in
place to protect students from abusing the minimum 15 student per course rule. After the second week of the semester,
students may drop out of a course up until the midterm week. Students must receive permission from the faculty member
teaching the course and from the department chair of the student’s major. A student who drops out of a class after the second
week will receive a “W” (for withdrawal) placed on their transcript. Students may not drop out of a class after the midterm
week for any reason.
Adding a Course: Students who decide to add a course may do so during the first week of the semester. Students adding a
course are responsible for any homework or other course requirements that have taken place prior to their joining the class.
The faculty member teaching the course also has the right to record students as absent for the days that they were not in the
class prior to adding the course. Students cannot add a course after the first week of school.
Students wishing to add or drop a course should, pay any necessary fees and get the signature of the faculty member
teaching the course.
Withdrawal Policy: Students dropping a course after two weeks into the semester and before the midterm will be considered
as having withdrawn from a course. The student’s official transcript will designate this withdrawal with a “W” listed next to
the course. Students may not withdraw from a course after the midterm.
A student withdrawing from school must inform the Academic Affairs Office, complete the required forms and get the
signatures of their class advisor and their department chair. Students who do not follow the correct procedures when
withdrawing may face difficulties if they wish to reapply in the future. Furthermore, if applicable, students may forfeit any
tuition and fees that would have been returned to them if notification of withdrawal were given. The refunding of tuition and
fees following proper notification is the same as that for students taking an extended leave of absence (see below).
20
Extended Leave of Absence: A student withdrawing from school with the intention of returning will be granted an extended
leave of absence. The following regulations will apply:
1.
A student may request an extended leave of absence in case of serious illness or other justifiable reasons, which would
prevent continuation of class work. Appropriate authorities such as the college nurse or hospital physician must certify the
illness. The leave of absence shall go into effect only upon final approval of the President or by a school official the
President so designates.
2.
A leave of absence shall normally be limited to one year, but may, if necessary be extended an additional year.
3.
Leave for military duty is given for the duration of military service.
4.
Students on leave of absence may not apply for re-enrollment during the period of leave.
5.

Credits: Student grades are calculated using a numerical value (with 100 being a perfect score) as well as GPA (grade point
average). Christ’s College follows a semester calendar with course credit given three times a year: fall and spring semesters
and after the summer session. Except for special exceptions, students must study at Christ’s College for at least 3 years
21
(including transfer students). Students must also complete all the general common-core courses, complete the required
courses for a major, and complete a minimum of 136 credits hours for graduation (see Graduation Requirements). Students
who have not completed the credit requirements within four years may extend the time limit for up to two more years.
Students working on a minor or double major may prolong the extension for three years.
A one-hour credit is awarded for each hour of class work per week for one semester. One credit hour is given for two
periods of laboratory work per week for one semester, the exact time required for laboratory work being judged by the nature
of the course. Minimum and maximum credit hour requirements per semester are as follows:
1.
Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior students 16 – 24
2.
Senior students
10 – 24
Students with a yearly academic average of 85 (3.3 GPA) and above may request permission from their Department Chair and
the Dean of Academic Affairs to add an additional three credit hours to their semester course load. Students who have failed a
course during the previous semester may take only 20 credits the following semester. Students with two failing courses may
take only 18 credits and students with three or more failing courses are limited to 16 credits for the following semester. The
students may return to the 24 credit limit if they receive passing grades in all of their courses during the probationary semester.
If students have not completed a formal credit application procedure, the credits will not be recognized.
Grading and Examinations: The standards for academic grading and examinations are as follows:
1.
A grade of 60 or above is considered as passing for all courses and examinations.
2.
Freshmen failing the first semester of a two-semester course, with a grade of 40 or above, may continue in the course for
the second semester. If the student gets a grade in the second semester so that the average of the two semesters is above
60, he/she will be given credit for the whole course and will not need to make up the first semester (NOTE: This benefit
does not apply to Bible courses. If a student fails a Bible course , they must make it up). However, the first semester’s
failing grade will remain on the student’s transcript. If the student fails to get above 60 in the second semester the whole
course must be repeated, however, if the student gets above 60 in the second semester, only the first semester must be
repeated.
3.
Starting with the sophomore year, the policy for two semester courses is:
a.
Students who pass the first semester (60 or above) may continue on to the second semester.
b.
Students who fail the first semester but receive a score between 50-59 may take the second semester course,
but must retake the first semester course.
c.
Students who fail the first semester with a score below 50 may not take the second semester course until after
they have retaken the first semester.
4.
If a course has two parts and are offered in two semesters for one course credit, the student must pass both parts to get
credit for that course.
5.
If a student fails a prerequisite course he/she is not allowed to take the advanced course until the prerequisite course has
been made up. (For example, if a student fails Public Speaking, they cannot take Small Group Communications.) In the
case that courses are discovered to be taken out of sequence the grades for those courses will not be counted.
6.
Student’s failing over two-thirds of the semester’s credit hours will be dismissed from school.
7.
Students may repeat a course an additional two times. If unable to pass the third time, the student may be dismissed from
the school.
8.
Senior students have their final examination early during the spring semester. However, seniors who are taking non-senior
elective courses or are making up a course may not be given an early examination for these courses.
9.
There is only one midterm and final examination for each course. No make-up examinations are allowed.
10. The basic rules for taking midterm and final examinations at Christ’s College can be found in the Student Handbook.
22
Report Cards: At the end of each semester, Christ’s College’s students will receive (by mail) their report card for the semester
from the registrar of the Academic Affair’s Office. Students may also request a transcript from the Registrar’s Office at any
time by completing an application form and paying the transcription fee. If a student does not agree with a graded they
received on their report card, they may formally appeal to the Dean of Academic Affairs. The details for challenging a grade
are mentioned in the Student Handbook.
Classification of Students
Full-time Students: Students who have been formally admitted as freshmen through the admission process along with
transfer students are all considered full-time students. Full-time students must fulfill the residency requirements and maintain
the minimum number of credit hours per semester to retain their full-time status. All full-time students also agree to abide by
all of the school regulations regarding academic, spiritual, and student affairs. Full-time students may gain a formal degree if
they have completed all the required qualifications for graduating from Christ’s College (see Graduation Requirements).
Part-time Students: Part-time students are designated as continuing education students who are taking courses for personal
benefit and not for a formal degree. Part-time students are exempt from taking the entrance examination and will be admitted
if they have graduated from a secondary institution (high school or vocational school), and agree to the rules and regulations
of the College. Part-time students will only be admitted if space is available and will be admitted in the following order:
alumni, church workers, divinity students, and finally students from other colleges.
Students applying to be part-time students must complete the following procedures:
1.
Complete an application form including a two by two-inch, upper-body photograph and an application fee of $500NT.
2.
Submit a diploma or other verification that the applicant has completed all the requirements for a secondary school
education.
3.
Submit a recommendation letter written by a church associate, elder or pastor and write an autobiography about their
educational history (maximum of 500 words).
Part-time students may take any of the courses offered, but may not take more than 9 credit hours or courses that have a
full enrollment. Before a part-time student signs-up for a course, they must receive approval from the Dean of Academic
Affairs and the relevant Department Chair. Part-time students opting to take English courses must also submit a TOEFL or
TOEFL equivalent score to the English Department Chair.
Tuition and fees for part-time students will be based on the College’s basic tuition and fee requirements. Prospective
students should go to the Registrar’s Office for further information. Part-time students are not allowed to live on campus. If
a part-time student later becomes a full-time student at Christ’s College then their credits earned as a part-time student will be
recognized.
Probationary Students: Students who applied but did not meet the qualifications for acceptance as a formal student may be
admitted as probationary students. Transfer students applying between the first and second semester and students with
special situations may also be admitted as probationary students. Students applying as probationary students must apply at
the Academic Affair’s Registrar Office, receive approval from the relevant department chair, pass an oral interview and agree
to follow the rules and regulations of the College before being officially admitted by the President. All probationary students
may only be accepted based on the President’s approval.
Students who have been dismissed from Christ’s College or another postsecondary institution for academic or
disciplinary reasons are not permitted to apply as a probationary student. Probationary students will be granted formal fulltime status once they have passed the entrance examination or passed all of their first semester courses. Probationary
students must take a full credit load and live on campus.
23
Selecting a Major/Minor/Second Major
Selecting a Major: Students do not declare a major during their first year at Christ’s College. Entering freshmen take general
common-core courses during their first year and are divided into classes based on their English ability (except for music
majors who are all placed in the same class and may declare their major upon entering Christ’s College). The two English
levels are basic and intermediate. Students who receive a score of 375 or higher on the entrance exam are placed in the
intermediate level and students with a score below 350 are placed in the basic level. Students with scores between 350 and
375 may decide which level they wish to take. A student who desires to be an English major must pass the intermediate level
courses with at least a 70 average before being admitted.
During the second semester of a student’s freshmen year, the student must select a major by completing a major
application form provided by the Academic Affairs Office. Presently, the College offers eight majors within four departments
(excluding the music department) which students may chose from. For a list of the majors please refer to Degrees and Fields
of Study. For an explanation of each major please refer to the department descriptions within this College Catalog.
Each department has specific requirements that a prospective student must meet. They are:
1.
Administration Management – Students must pass an interview with the chair of the administration management
department before being admitted.
2.
English Department – Complete the intermediate level courses with at least a 70 average and receive approval from the
chair of the department.
3.
Information Technology and Management – No major restrictions apply.
4.
Mass Communications – Students who wish to select a major in the mass communications department must have an
average of 70 or higher in their freshmen courses and pass an interview with the chair of the department.
5.
Music – Music majors declare their major when they enter Christ’s College. Students who desire to be music majors
must pass an entrance audition and receive permission from the chair of the music department.
Minors: Students may choose a minor beginning in their sophomore year. Minor credits should be added on to (not
substituted for) the minimum credits required for a major. All departments at Christ’s College offer a minor. Students
applying for a minor must request an application form from the Registrar’s Office. The student should meet with their
academic advisor to arrange for the proper sequence of courses that need to be taken for the minor. Once the courses and the
course sequence have been decided, the student should receive permission from the chair of the department where the minor
is to be obtained and then submit the application to the Academic Affairs Office for approval. A minimum of 20 credit hours
is required for the completion of a minor. Minor courses should not affect major courses. If a student’s major required
course conflicts with a minor course due to scheduling, a student should take the major course. A student who successfully
completes a minor will have this reflected on their diploma and official transcripts.
Second Major: Students wishing to apply for a second major must have a grade point average of 75 (out of 100) or above, be
in the top 20% of their class and have a conduct grade of 80 (out of 100) or above. Second major credits should add on to
(not substitute for) the minimum credits required for the first major. Students applying for a second major must submit a
completed application form to the Registrar’s Office and receive permission from the chairs of both relevant departments.
Final approval will be granted by the Academic Affairs Office. A minimum of 40 credit hours within the second major must
be studied. Second major courses should not affect the first major courses. If any of a student’s second major courses
conflict with a first major course due to scheduling, a student should take the first major course. If students have not
completed all the courses for their second major upon graduation, but have already completed sufficient credits to qualify for
a minor, they may elect to change their second major to a minor. A student who successfully completes a second major will
have this reflected on their diploma and official transcripts.
Changing Majors: A student may apply to change majors. The following regulations apply:
24
1.
The student should formally request to change majors by personally writing a letter or having their parents write a letter
to the Academic Affairs Office explaining why they want to change majors.
2.
Students wishing to change majors must receive permission from the chairs of both departments involved and be
approved by the Academic Affairs Office.
3.
Students applying for a change of majors must apply during the second semester of each academic year, between the
midterm and final examinations. No late applications will be accepted.
4.
During any period of temporary leave or absence from school, students may not apply to change majors.
5.
Students who have changed majors may extend their period of study for one extra year beyond the allowable amount.
6.
If a department’s full-time equivalent numbers have reached a maximum, the department may not accept majortransferring students.
Course Numbering System
Christ’s College’s course numbering system is similar to that commonly used in most universities around the world. The
three English characters represent the department or major. With this understanding, students, faculty and staff can look at the
prefix and immediately know which category or department/ major the course belongs to.

COMMON-CORE COURSES
Introduction
25
All students at Christ College must complete the common-core courses. These courses help to give each student a firm
background in general areas of study (i.e., English, computer application, humanities, the arts and physical education). Also
included in the common-core sequence is 20 hours of biblical studies. The Bible and faith-related courses offer Christ’s
College students a chance to better understand our Creator and His general and special revelation. Having a firm foundation
in Christian truth helps our students to see the world through the light of Scripture. This in turn helps our students to be God
fearing men and women as they take up leadership roles in local churches, in schools and in the workforce.
A list and brief description of the required common-core courses can be found under Graduation Requirements within this
section. Basically students need to complete 20 credit hours of Bible, 24 credit hours of English, 10 credit hours in the
Humanities, 5 credit hours in Computer Application and 1 credit hour in physical education to fulfill the 60 credit hours
required for graduation.
Many of the common-core requirements can be met at the freshmen level before students declare a major. All of the
English and Computer Application requirements can be met at the freshmen level as well as some Bible, Humanities and
Physical Education requirements. Below is a list of all the required courses at each level followed by a list of electives.
English Language Requirement: All students enrolled at Christ’s College are required to take 24 hours of English as part of
their common core studies during the freshman year. As part of the college entrance requirements all students must take the
Pre-TOEFL exam. Students who score between 300 and 350 on that exam start their English studies at the beginning course
level. Students who score between 350 and 375 have the option of starting at either the beginning or intermediate course
level. Students who score 375 or above start their English studies at the intermediate course level. Completion of either the
beginning or intermediate course level fulfills the English common core studies requirements. Students opting to be English
majors must complete the intermediate course level (see Selecting Majors).
Second Language Courses: Second Language classes are also included in the school’s general electives. Students may take
these courses to meet their elective requirements but the second language courses (languages other than Chinese or English)
are not required for graduation unless specifically mentioned within a major. Currently, second language courses include:
Japanese, French, German, and Spanish. Each language may be taken for two years (four semesters) with 3 credit hours
offered each semester.

BIB130 The Pentateuch: The Core course “Survey of the Old Testament” provides a historical survey of the Old Testament,
relating Bible history to the history of the nations which interact with the national of Israel. This course will briefly survey
the relation of the five The Pentateuch (Genesis-Deuteronomy) to one another and then concentrate on detailed study of the
contents of Exodus and Numbers, tracing the redemption and establishment of Israel as God’s covenant people and their
travels through the wilderness to the borders of the promised land.
BIB231 History of Israel: Emphasis will be on the content of the books of Joshua, Judges, and I and II Samuel, tracing the
conquest of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, the extended period of periodic deliverances under judges, and the
development of the united kingdom under Saul and David.
BIB232 Book of Isaiah: There will be a brief review of divergent views on the unity of Book of Isaiah. But the major
stress of the course will be on the content of Book of Isaiah, representative of the major prophets and indeed of all the Old
37
Testament prophets. This will cover prophecies of the exile of Israel, the return of a remnant to their homeland, and the
future coming of the Messiah Who will bring in the fullness of redemption as Christ comes to establish His kingdom, to
initiate the mission of the Church, and to rule in history until the final restoration of all things.
BIB333 Gospel of John : The Core course “Survey of the New Testament” introduces students to the inter-testamental
period, the background and setting of the New Testament writings, and the development of the New Testament with gospels
and history, letters, and prophecy. In this study of Gospel of John, we will skip the problems of the three synoptic gospels,
studying more in depth the teachings of Jesus as they are set in the development of His ministry, His death and resurrection,
and His commission to the Church.
BIB334Book of Acts: The book of Book of Acts gives us the history of the development of the Church from the return of
Christ to heaven through the first decades of the spread of the Christian faith throughout the western world. This course will
trace the spread of the gospel message throughout Judea and Samaria under the leadership of Peter, the apostle to the Jews,
and throughout parts of Asia and into western Europe through the ministry of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. Notice will be
given to the letters to the churches written by these two apostolic leaders, but the study will concentrate on the content of
Book of Acts itself.
BIB435 Letter of Romans: In this concentrated study of Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome, students will be
introduced to the basic theological concepts of the Word of God. God’s righteousness, man’s sinfulness, God’s provision of
righteousness in Christ, and God’s gracious work of justification and progressive sanctification in the lives of Christians will
be carefully developed from this central theological document of the New Testament.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Introduction
Music is the most gracious of the performing arts. Through performers’ interpretation, music found its character and
spirit. For establishing a professional career, the music department not only offers students training on their individual major
instruments, but also general theoretical study. The courses are designed in three fields: performing study, music theory and
church music. We encourage our students to combine their studies with their Christian faith and dedicate their talent to the
local church, society and for the glory of God. The Christ’s College program is also an excellent program to help prepare
students for graduate level programs in Europe, the United States and other countries.
