Religious affiliation with college?

I applied to Campbell University and got accepted with a pretty decent scholarship. I visited today at their campus visitation. I love this school and it is definitely my top choice but two things are bothering me. Religious affiliation and Tuition. The tuition I won't include here because I will figure that out on my own but the Religion I will. I am primarily agnostic. I believe in God and am close to him however I do not practice any religion. I do not go to church and have rarely went in my lifetime. It was what I was raised by as my parents no longer attend church and didn't expect me to. However, CU is a southern baptist/Christian school. They require you to take a CU Worship cl 3 hours a week (I believe, not sure on the hours) and One elective of your desired religion. Since I have not been brought up with the same spirituality that the average person does, I am afraid I would fail those cles since I really don't know anything about what the religions are based on. Is Campbell a no go for me or do cles like these respect people in my situation?
