The Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies (MAICS) is designed to provide graduates with the requisite skills necessary for successful cross-cultural ministry as they relate to pre-field orientation, entry strategies to new cultures, early and mature cross-cultural church-planting, and development. Students will integrate classroom studies with cross-cultural field-work programs under the guidance of ministry mentors. This degree prepares students for ministry roles such as field missionary, church mission pastor, mission area coordinator, church ethnic ministry coordinator, or international development worker.
