NNU’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Intercultural Ministry prepares students to minister in a global cross-cultural setting. In addition to courses in ministry and theology, students compile the basic principles of the social sciences for the purposes of integrating them into the practice of ministry in an intercultural context. This program helps students work through appropriate steps leading to appointment as missionaries by the Church of the Nazarene or other mission agencies. The major does not meet ordination requirements in the Church of the Nazarene; however, students can fulfill ordination requirements by also taking the Christian Ministry minor.
