Intercultural Studies Major (B.A.)


At Crown College, theology and missiology are foundational to intercultural studies. The analysis of cultures combined with a biblical understanding of the church and its mission are essential. Major non-Christian religions, the international context, rural and urban cultural realities, and worldview questions are included to prepare graduates for effective ministry among the various cultures and subcultures of the world. Several study-abroad options are available to enrich and expand the student’s experience. Minors are selected in consultation with the department chair with the intent of providing students with skill sets that are useful in cross-cultural settings.
