GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN INTERCULTURAL AND URBAN STUDIES A 27-Unit One-Year Degree Program Degree Program Description The Graduate Diploma in Intercultural and Urban Studies is designed to improve the qualifications and skills of pastors, evangelists, church planters, church workers, mission administrators, traditional and tent making missionaries including OFWs and missionary candidates who desire training at the graduate level, but who, for various reasons, choose not to complete the M.A. or M.Div. degree at this time in their lives. It aims to develop Christian practitioners who are able to initiate and sustain evangelism, discipleship, and church planting efforts in culturally sensitive, holistic and transformational ways. It emphasizes the practical dimensions of ministry with many of the courses
requiring out-of-classroom exposure and research trips. It contains most of the missions focus courses included in the M.A. and M.Div. programs. Students are also required to participate in a care group for one semester.
