The Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Project Management with a Minor in Faith-Based Ethics in Engineering and Technology is designed to equip students with a multidisciplinary skill set essential for effective project management in the engineering field. Throughout the four-year program, students will learn core engineering principles, project lifecycle management, risk assessment, and ethical decision-making from a faith-based perspective. Graduates will be prepared for leadership roles in diverse engineering environments by blending technical expertise with an understanding of ethical considerations that impact technology and society. The program emphasizes critical thinking, communication skills, and collaborative practices, ensuring that students are well-prepared to tackle complex engineering challenges while upholding their moral beliefs.

The Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy with a minor in Faith-Based Sustainability and Green Technology combines a robust foundation in general education with comprehensive study in renewable energy theory, environmental ethics, sustainable technology application, research methodology, crisis awareness in resource management, project development, and community-based ecological support.

Florida's current standard establishes a minimum of 120 semester credits for a bachelor's degree and at least 30 general-education credits for a Bachelor of Science. This curriculum exceeds the general-education minimum.
