International Studies Major, Cross-Cultural Ministry Concentration (B.A.)

Prepare to make a difference in the most important global issues of our day. A strong foundation of resilient faith and self-understanding allows students to pursue excellence in sustained relationships, civic engagement, and community development across cultures. Students examine their own culture, develop intercultural competence, and consider how to effect change in complex environments. One of the dynamic strengths of this interdisciplinary degree is the presence of students pursuing cross-disciplinary studies, bringing insights from business, humanities, ministry studies, and psychology into common discussion.

The Cross-Cultural Ministry concentration is designed for students who seek to engage the realities of life and ministry in the globalized world while maintaining a connection to traditional missions ministries. Students can also pursue a minor in Cross-Cultural Ministry or another ministry field. Includes a semester of off-campus global service-learning for those accepted into the study abroad program.
