A Behavioral Society During the past few decades, the interest in Social and Behavioral Sciences has experienced a tremen- dous boost. People have begun to study about themselves. They want a better understanding of their inner emotions, reactions, and of the impli- cations that the consequences of these would have in history. At Lee College, the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences has become one of vital importance, and the number of majors has in- creased. Christian psychologists, sociologists and historians are a necessity in our present world, and upon this fact the minds of the department ' s faculty dwell. An education in any of these disciplines at Lee College is of no less quality than that received at most secular colleges. Lee students are taught to realize that man is not his own master, but rather it is God who is the master. This perspective is a necessity for those who have aspirations of being a Christian psychologist, sociologist, or histo- rian. Murl Dirksen — Assistant Professor David T. Rahamut — Assistant Professor BUI Balzano— Assistant Professor and Chairman of the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences

Not only Preachers . . . Faithful to its claim as a Chris- tian college, Lee College graduates each of its students with a minor in Religion. This minor comes as a result of the required eighteen hours of classes taken within the Departments of Bible and Theology and Christian Education and Church Ministries with a knowledge of the Old Testament, New Testament, Christian Thought and Christian Eth- ics. A Lee College graduate is provided with a workable under- standing of the Bible. The Department of Bible and Theology also prepares students to minister as pastors. Pastors of the day are now called upon to serve in several areas other than just preaching. It is for this reason that the Department encourages its students to complete a core of courses which equips them to be effective in public communications, as well as in sermon delivery. . . . but also Teachers The church of today, more than ever before, needs an effective teaching program. Hence the Lee College Department of Christian Education and Church Ministries plays a vital role in preparing church workers. With the goal of training church workers other than preachers as its main objective, the Department encompasses areas such as teaching in the Sunday School and Chris- tian Education. The Department is committed to producing effective church leaders who understand the need of all Christians for a quality education in our beliefs and in living a Christian life in a secular world.
