The curriculum is comprehensive both in content (theology, philosophy, mathematics, science, history, literature, language arts, and physical education) and chronologically (from the earliest literary history to contemporary times). Imago Dei College offers one interdisciplinary degree to all their students in Classical Liberal Arts with possible double majors in Theology, Philosophy, History, and Literature.

They identify and define Great Books as an open canon of literary works that have had a great impact upon the intellectual and popular culture of Western civilization.
