Intercultural Studies, B.A. Mission The mission of the Undergraduate Program in Intercultural Studies is to prepare students who can comprehensively understand the diverse context(s) in which they may serve, contribute to the well-being of those with whom they interact, and make disciples of Jesus Christ among all people. Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Intercultural Studies is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The Intercultural Studies major requires the completion of 36 credits of which 24 must be upper-division. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies, students will be able to: 1. Articulate the critical importance of the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of all nations, and practice this command, based on an accurate understanding of text (Scripture) and context (culture) (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate integrative knowledge and skill across contributing streams of theology, history, linguistics, social science, and strategy to work in diverse settings (ULO 3). 3. Assess cultural and contextual realities in order to develop Christian perspectives and responses toward cross-cultural problems (ULO 1). 4. Express the significance of growing in Christ-like character as a central component of preparation for service across a broad range of vocations (ULO 2). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 5) section of this catalog.

Every Intercultural Studies major must participate in a cross-cultural/ overseas learning experience. This may be fulfilled by taking an approved field internship, which provides opportunity to apply skills studied in the classroom in a foreign environment. Students are encouraged to fulfill this requirement in the Summer following the junior year. Students may also fulfill this requirement by participating in a Biola approved Fall or Spring semester off-campus program. Those choosing the latter will not get additional academic credit but are required to complete 3 more credits of electives within the major. Study abroad waives summer internship and INCS 352. Students are still required to take INCS 354 upon their return.
