The Global Studies & Service semester includes enrollment in internationally acclaimed universities in five diverse locations. Upon arrival, students are welcomed by a mission mentor, join a Christian community of domestic and international believers, and participate in culturally-immersive ministry opportunities.
As a part of a well-rounded classical liberal arts education, GSS helps students to improve communication skills, apply critical thinking skills, develop a heart of gratitude, and better understand what it means to be human.
