Engage in a World-Changing, Life-Touching and Culture-Bridging Mission
For more than a century, Biola University has been equipping men and women to spread the gospel throughout the world to fulfill the Great Commission. From the earliest years — when Biola opened a Bible Institute in China — and continuing today, Biola is committed to raising competent intercultural leaders to impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ.
As a student in the Cook School of Intercultural Studies, you'll learn from missionally minded faculty with a wide array of experience. You'll have the opportunity to participate in internships with organizations from around the world and develop meaningful relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. In our ever-changing and globalizing societies, it is important to be culturally fluent in order to communicate, live and work in any setting with sensitivity and effectiveness. Whatever your calling is, explore how the Cook School of Intercultural Studies can strengthen your character, deepen your knowledge and broaden your intercultural skills.
