Cross-Cultural Service Bachelor of Arts

What will I study?

The Cross-Cultural Service major prepares the student to serve in cross-cultural missionary endeavors. The program establishes the doctrinal and experiential principles of effective missionary practice and it provides for guided instruction in the practical application of the principles through a required field internship. One half to three-fourths of the course credits (72-99) directly develop knowledge and skills necessary for field service. The major supports the School of Religion goal of providing high-quality training in the knowledge of the Word of God, its practical application and its effective proclamation to the world.
