Cook School of Intercultural Studies Graduate Programs Handbook STATEMENT OF MISSION SECTION 1.1 The Cook School of Intercultural Studies exists to equip students to communicate, live, and work effectively in culturally diverse contexts to make disciples of all peoples and impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the scholarly activities of its faculty and graduate students, the school endeavors to engage in continuing research, which will contribute to the knowledge bases of the disciplines, which support the program emphases of the school. The key objective of CSICS is to provide educational opportunity at the graduate level for mature, experienced students to reflect upon their cross-cultural experience and develop further capability in cross-cultural ministry through exposure to missiological concepts, social science methodologies, language specialization and the refinement of ministry related research skills. The Cook School of Intercultural Studies serves the mission of the university in two very distinct ways. Its graduates have a broad exposure to the ideas that have shaped human thinking, specifically in the theoretical contributions pertinent to our fields of knowledge. The school also supports the university's General Education curriculum at the undergraduate level by offering cultural anthropology as a part of the required social science requirement, physical anthropology for the science requirement and TESOL as an undergraduate minor. In order to foster the university's emphasis on developing critical thinking and encouraging sound Biblical faith, all CSICS course offerings are highly integrative in nature. All students are challenged to critically evaluate and test various theoretical models and to subject them to theological and Biblical examination. The emphasis is on the integration and application of concepts for the purpose of service and ministry in the world. Date: August 2012 Page 1 of 1
