Intercultural Studies
|
|
The intercultural studies degree will equip you for
cross-cultural life and service in an increasingly diverse world. This is a very strategic
major for men and women who desire for God to prepare them for effective intercultural ministries
both at home and abroad.
Many intercultural students double major in another area which provides them
a "passport skill" that complements their intercultural preparation when they seek entrance into
another country.
|
The faculty consists of highly-trained professionals with more
than fifty years of combined cross-cultural experience. Students are welcomed into the homes of
our faculty and their families and invited to go with them on multiple cross-cultural trips. So
get ready for an exciting time of learning, stretching, and conviction by the Holy Spirit. Come
join us in Kingdom service!
