Applied Apologetics: Practical Apologetics Minor (CAGS)

Please note: As of May 20, 2024, CCU will discontinue offering Lee Strobel Center degree programs and continuing education certificate courses to new students not currently enrolled. We are pleased to continue to offer the courses, without interruption, to students who are currently enrolled in programs within the Strobel Center, and these students will have until August 2027 to fulfill their coursework requirements. CUS undergraduates already enrolled in the Apologetics and Evangelism major or the Dual Graduate Enrollment Apologetics and Evangelism major may also take Lee Strobel Center courses until August 2027.

The minor in Applied Apologetics provides baseline training in apologetic defense of the Christian faith. Basic understanding of Christian apologetics and non-Christian worldviews are augmented with specialized understanding from student-selected topics. The Practical Apologetics emphasis focuses on how science, history, philosophy, archaeology, religious experience, and evidence related to the life and work of Jesus Christ can all be used to argue for the truth of Christianity.

Students may earn a minor in the field by completing the following 18 credit hours and any required prerequisites provided none of the courses are required in the student's major.
