Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies

LCU’s bachelor’s degree in Intercultural Studies will prepare you to serve God throughout the world.

When you follow a calling for vocational ministry, it will take you to people who need your compassion and courage—and expertise—whether right down the road or across the globe.

There is a strong spirit of mission at LCU. Our faculty and staff travel and teach around the world, from China to Austria to India. Many of them also work as short-term missionaries in places such a Papua New Guinea, Turkey, Laos, Czech Republic, Columbia, and Thailand. LCU’s professors are ready to share their experience and wisdom with you.

All Intercultural Studies students complete a cross-cultural internship in locations like the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Canada. In addition, students travel each spring to places at home and abroad during the campus-wide Restoration Week. Trips can involve a myriad of ministry opportunities from physical labor to teaching and preaching.

Located in Lincoln, Illinois, LCU was founded in 1944 as a Bible institute -- and we haven't left that identity behind.

In fact, we’ve embraced our past while also engaging our future. Today, LCU strives to meet the needs of students by designing a Christ-centered curriculum that not only prepares them for their chosen profession but also gives them the knowledge and desire to live out their faith in this fallen world.

Our students come to LCU for a major. They leave on a Mission.

Lincoln Christian University is a Christian higher education community whose mission is to nurture and equip Christians with a Biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church and the world.
