The purpose of the Cross-Cultural Studies major is to equip students with the knowledge, skills and character needed for effective transformational work in international settings. The program seeks to equip students with the ability to understand and interpret cross-cultural social contexts and with the ability to interpret and apply Christian truth in ways appropriate to a variety of settings. While many students graduating with this major may pursue seminary or graduate study, others may enter roles with missions agencies, local churches or parachurch groups, or with global non-governmental or humanitarian organizations.
