Dean: Marvin K. Mayers, Ph.D. Marguerite G. Kraft, D.Miss. , Undergraduate Coordinator Faculty Professors: Cook, Kwast, S. Lingenfelter, Mayers Associate Professors: Bruce, Dollar, Kraft, Liao, J. Lingenfelter Objectives: The objectives of the inter cultural studies major are: (I) to enable every student to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the theological, his torical, sociological , anthropological and linguistic issues of the cross-cultural com munication of the gospel ; (2) to enable every student to demonstrate a personal responsi bility to the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of every nation; to enable every student to understand man and culture, (3) to increase his or her under standing of linguistic and cultural diversity, to relate more meaningfully to people with a different linguistic and cultural background and to be encouraged to analyze and under stand intercultural problems and develop Christian perspectives toward these problems. The careers open to intercultural studies ma jor are diverse, and include such areas as missions outreach, cross-cultural health ser vices, development programs and agencies, social welfare, translation work, information research, bilingual and multicultural educa tion, cross-cultural communications, and public and foreign service. The major pro gram is designed to allow students to pursue options which will best prepare them for their career objectives. The interdisciplinary concentration offers a unique opportunity to combine Intercultural Studies with other dis ciplines in the University to prepare the stu dent for careers such as bicultural education, cross-cultural mass media communications, social work, cross-cultural counseling, mis sions political liaison, urban program ad ministration, etc. Missions outreach has been the major thrust and the spiritual strength of our program. It is the desire of the faculty that each student in the program will find in their particular career choice the means to effective cross-cultural personal ministry and evangelism. Toward that end
