International Studies Major, Community Development Concentration (B.A.)
|
|
 Return to: Arts & Sciences Academic Programs
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 Community Development concentration provides an interdisciplinary base for initiating and sustaining community development domestically and internationally. Students learn to apply intercultural competence toward high-quality, community-centered development. Includes a semester of off-campus global service-learning for those accepted into the study abroad program.
