The Intercultural Studies (Missions) program, which is interdisciplinary in both content and supervision, is tailored to the needs of individual students. Students meet with a program adviser to select program electives for an individualized course of study. Like the Biblical Studies major, the Intercultural Studies (Missions) major automatically satisfies educational requirements for ministerial credentials with the General Council of the Assemblies of God through the Southern Missouri District.

(Appropriate elective courses prepare the student for either short-term or career missions.)  A formal Program Proposal must be submitted and approved before a student is accepted officially into the program. The completed Program Proposal must be on file by the time a student has reached the 78-credit-hour point in his or her University career.
