    COVENANT COLLEGE MASTER OF EDUCATION PROGRAM 1990-1992 Masters of Education Catalog In all things ... Christ pre-eminent Colossians 1:18 Covenant College Master of Education Degree Program Academic Bulletin 1990 and 1991 Covenant College Covenant College provides a broad, distinctively Christian liberal arts education. The college offers both associate and baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts disciplines and selected pre-professional programs in addition to the Master of Education Degree. The primary goal is to provide an environment of academic excellence that encourages students to develop a Christian world view. A Covenant College education is designed to produce skills and vfuues equipping students to serve effectively and live responsibly in a changing world. The commitment of the college is expressed in its motto based on Colossians 1:18: "In All Things ... Christ Pre-eminent." Covenant College exists so that college students may be part of a learning community which recognizes and responds appropriately to Jesus Christ's rule over all creation and all areas of life. The college, operating under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church in America, is committed to the Bible as the Word of God written and accepts as its most adequate and comprehensive interpretation the summary contained in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We believe that God is the creator of all things, that we are fallen sinners, but that our redemption through Christ makes it possible for us to participate in the fulfillment of God's purposes in this broken world. 1 Accreditation Covenant College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a Level II institution, an institution offering bachelor's degrees; the College is working toward candidacy as a Level III institution, an institution offering master's degrees.
