24 must be upper division. Eighteen units in History, and two concentrations<br />

of six units in both English and Philosophy, for a total of<br />

30 units. The student would seek his / her interests and be guided by<br />

the faculty to take most of their courses in one of the areas of expertise<br />

within the Department of History, Government & Social Science.<br />

The student is required to take History 2<strong>07</strong> and 208 (one of which<br />

will meet the general education history requirement) before taking<br />

upper-division courses in history. The student is also required to take<br />

either History 480, Research Seminar (three units), or History 490-491,<br />

Senior Honor Program (six units), as a “capstone” course in the concluding<br />

years of his / her program. Students who use this emphasis<br />

History of the Christian Church (three units) and one of the biblical<br />

languages as their foreign language requirement.<br />

Objectives<br />

The objectives of the undergraduate department of Intercultural<br />

Studies are five-fold:<br />

1. To enable students to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding<br />

of the theological, historical, sociological, anthropological<br />

and linguistic issues of the crosscultural communication<br />

of the gospel<br />

2. To enable students to demonstrate a personal responsibility<br />

to the mandate given by the Lord Jesus Christ to make<br />

disciples of every nation based on an understanding of both<br />

human beings and culture<br />

3. To equip Christian professionals to serve in a broad range of<br />

vocations<br />

4. To facilitate the growth of Christ-like character and assist<br />

students in their spiritual formation<br />

5. To increase student understanding of linguistic and cultural<br />

diversity, so that they will relate more meaningfully to people<br />

with a different linguistic and cultural background and be<br />

encouraged to analyze and develop Christian perspectives<br />

toward crosscultural problems.<br />

The careers open to Intercultural Studies majors are diverse, and<br />

include such areas as missions outreach, crosscultural health services,<br />

development programs and agencies, social welfare, translation<br />

work, information research, bilingual and multicultural education,<br />

crosscultural communications and public and foreign service.<br />

The Intercultural Studies major is designed to allow students to pursue<br />

options which will best prepare them for their career objectives.<br />

The interdisciplinary concentration offers a unique opportunity to<br />

combine Intercultural Studies with other disciplines in the <strong>University</strong><br />

to prepare the student for careers such as bicultural education,<br />

crosscultural mass media communications, social work, crosscultural<br />

counseling, missions political liaison, urban program administration<br />

and international business.<br />
