The Great Ideas: The Ames Christian University Curriculum To become an
"educated person," one must become comfortable encountering great ideas. Elusive, complex, and sometimes unpopular, great ideas can occur in any generation, can originate from any discipline, and can contain the power
to change the world. The characteristics of great ideas remain consistent from generation to generation. Applications may change, and new discoveries sometimes engender doubt, but great ideas are timeless. Great
ideas are sown in the fertile ground of truth. They are provable. They prove to be right over long periods of time. Great ideas spark the imagination and bring out the best in the human condition. They are noble.
Most important, great ideas drive honest seekers to God, the Creator of the Universe. They lead the deepest thinkers to ask the hardest questions, seek the most and best evidence, and draw the most rigorous conclusions.
And in the end, they move the honest skeptic inexorably toward one conclusion, time and again: God is real. God is evident. God is in control. The Ames University curriculum, both Bachelors and Masters Degree
programs, are designed to expose learners to the Great Ideas of history and contemporary society. The Great Ideas have been deduced, discovered, and codified throughout human history. The Great Ideas have
created civilizations and civilized order, fostered unparalleled human achievement, and helped mold the rules of the greatest human societies. It takes courage to engage Great Ideas. It requires the maturity to
challenge one's own accepted principles, the humility to stand on the shoulders of giants, and the work ethic to accept one's own imperfections. The Ames University curriculum is designed for the learner who is unafraid
to encounter the Great Ideas. Our Academic Philosophy As a result, we believe that we are responsible for helping learners encounter,
understand, and interpret great ideas. In every Ames degree program, learners are challenged to fathom the great mysteries of science, the great expressions of literature, and the great riddles of logic and philosophy.
And they are challenged to do so with a level of rigor that demands excellence in thought, expression, and integrity. |
