Intercultural Studies, Teaching English as a Second Language Track, B.A.
|
|
Through their core courses, Intercultural Studies majors learn to build bridges across cultural barriers, while preparing for a career in Christian service. The Global Studies concentration is designed for students who anticipate a career in global disciple-making where teaching English as a second (or foreign) language (ESL/EFL) is required. The ESL minor is built into the program, so students are not required to take another minor.
