BACHELOR OF ARTS | MEDICAL MISSIONS
Overview | Medical Missions
As foreign fields become more difficult to access, medical missions can open doors that traditional paths cannot. In the Medical Missions program, instruction in foundational medical-related subjects is combined with the practical introduction to the framework and processes associated with medical missions. Cross-cultural courses also provide a solid ministry foundation. Students complete an academic minor in addition to their Bible and liberal arts courses. Finally, students will round out their degree by completing a medical missions internship, preparing them for opportunities in missions.
Program Outcomes
- Students will respond to the dynamics of culture from a biblical worldview.
- Students will articulate biblical doctrine in a systematic fashion.
- Students will interact effectively with requisite skills in medical missions endeavors.
- Students will communicate biblical truth effectively across cultures.
- Students will apply a biblical philosophy of missions in a cross-cultural setting.
