Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has a Bachelors of Arts in Humanties program that is aimed at making women better homemakers. Terri Stoval, the Dean of Womens Studies at the college said the program is "one of the most challenging, one of the most well-rounded and complete educations a woman can receive."
The curriculum consists of General Homemaking, Biblical Model for the Home and Family, The Value of a Child, seven credit hours in meal preparation and nutrition, 7 credit hours in the design and sewing of clothing, 23 credit hours of in biblical studies, two years of Latin & Greek and some philosophy as the core of the degree.
Some critics of the program have claimed this is merely another way that women are being forced back into biblical gender roles. Stovall answered critics by saying that the program is needed because of "the low standard of family and home life in contemporary culture."
