Academic Department-Specific Information

The following is information to help students discover programs that may work well for specific majors as well as courses that may be available in these locations. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THESE COURSES WILL BE AVAILABLE EACH SEMESTER. Rather, this can be used as a guide to help determine programs that may have viable options for each academic area.

Many of the courses listed here have already been evaluated by Messiah; it may be helpful to check the Course Equivalency Database--which is maintained by the Registrar's Office--to see how how courses will transfer back to Messiah. Follow this link for directions on how to access the Course Equivalency Database.

Note from the Office of the Registrar: The general education requirement for Ethics, Worldviews, Pluralism and Science Tech and the World, integrates a Christian perspective in the course content. As a result, these requirements are satisfied only when taken at Messiah College or a comparable Christian college or university. Similar courses taught at secular institutions, public and private, will not fulfill the general education requirement.
