What is INTR at Wheaton?
Professionalism
A solid background in living and working cross-culturally is established through courses such as Intercultural Communication, Cross-Cultural Research and Principles of Development.
Practicality
Coursework prepares you for professional ministry in diverse cultural settings, including appropriate means of communicating Christ, facilitating holistic development, researching local needs and issues, understanding dimensions for contextualization, and evaluating the propriety of various theological approaches.
Context
The program is located in a multicultural metropolitan area, where there are many opportunities to gain intercultural experience in a variety of settings.
The Big Picture
The current geopolitical situation has led to remarkable opportunities for those who know how to enter and engage in viable ministry and work in cross-cultural settings. The Intercultural Studies program at Wheaton College seeks to meet this need by providing comprehensive, practical training for cross-cultural service.
