To build in students both knowledge and skill in areas of theology, history, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and strategy for the effective transmission of the gospel across cultural boundaries. 2. To develop in students a personal responsibility to the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of every nation based on a proper understanding of text (Scripture) and context (culture and humanity) and to au- thentically and prophetically embody the gospel in diverse settings.
3. To equip Christian professionals to serve in a broad range of vocations.
For the major, the student must take Philosophy 301, 302, 303, and 414.
4. To facilitate the growth of Christ-like character and assist students in their spiritual formation.
For the concentrations in literature and history the student will consult his advisor about which courses will most likely comple- ment his studies in philosophy.
5. To increase student understanding of linguistic and cultural diversity, so that they will relate more meaningfully to people with a different linguistic and cultural background and be encouraged to analyze and develop Christian per- spectives toward cross-cultural problems. The careers open to Intercultural Studies majors are diverse, and include such areas as missions outreach, cross-cultural health services, development programs and agencies, social welfare, translation work, information research, bilingual and multicultural education, cross-cultural communications and public and foreign service. The Intercultural Studies major is designed to allow students to pursue options that will best prepare them for their career objec- tives. The interdisciplinary concentration offers a unique oppor- tunity to combine Intercultural Studies with other disciplines in the University to prepare the student for careers such as bicultural education, cross-cultural mass media communications, social
