Overview
Students in the Intercultural Studies program of Oklahoma Baptist University can focus in two major areas: Christian Studies or Intercultural Studies. From these major areas, the learner can specialize further into three major tracks: MA in Christian Studies with Leadership or Apologetics; MA in Intercultural Studies.
Intercultural Studies
In a globalized and information-driven world, Christians must develop key skills that will serve the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The MA in Intercultural Studies will equip the learner to reach the world, whether in majority world contexts or in one’s own back yard. Advanced skills that the learner gains include ethnographic research, intercultural communication, and church planting. These skills are founded and developed in Scripture and theology, providing a robust context for social scientific methods and contemporary missiology.
