The global studies major through the FOCUS Degree Completion program is designed specifically for those preparing for or currently involved in serious ministry endeavors.

unique component of this major is that students are required to work with a local mentor as they complete the four modules of study. Each student is responsible for selecting a mentor to follow them through the program; the mentor acts as an encourager, advisor, prayer supporter and liaison for course evaluation and assignments. More information about the qualifications and responsibilities of global studies mentors is available from an admission counselor.

Offered exclusively via a distance education format, the global studies program consists of four modules. Through the modules, adapted from the U.S. Center for World Mission’s World Christian Foundations curriculum, you will come to understand God's evangelistic purposes from the beginning of time through the present. Global studies provides a solid foundation in the study of missions, Bible, anthropology, world religions, global history and even some basics in science and languages.
