College of Christian Studies created
Here's the news release about the new school:
The Board of Trustees of Anderson University voted to create a new College of Christian Studies at their May 22 meeting.
The new college will be the seventh academic unit of the university, joining the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Business, Education, Visual & Performing Arts, Adult and Professional Studies, and the School of Interior Design. The College of Christian Studies will incorporate the university’s existing undergraduate programs in religion and ministry studies, along with the new David T. Clamp Graduate School of Christian Ministry.
Dr. Michael Duduit, who joined the Anderson faculty in 2008 as Dean of the Clamp School, will serve as Dean of the newly-created college. Duduit, who also serves as Executive Editor of Preaching magazine, serves as Professor of Christian Ministry at AU and is directing the university’s new Master of Ministry degree program.
“This new College of Christian Studies reflects our commitment to serve the churches of our state and region by providing the best of undergraduate and graduate preparation for ministry,” explains Dr. Evans Whitaker, President. “The college will build on our existing strong programs in these areas and expand to include additional majors and opportunities for training the next generation of church leaders.”
In addition to providing excellent programs for training ministry leaders, the College of Christian Studies will also provide academic support for existing AU courses required of all students, including classes in Bible and the teachings of Jesus. The College will also sponsor a variety of continuing education programs for current church leaders.
This is the second major announcement Anderson University has made in the past month concerning programs for ministry education. The university recently announced an $8 million gift from the estate of David T. Clamp for which the university named its new graduate school in ministry.
