Degree Program Highlights

The Master of Intercultural Studies in Migration Studies program is a humanities-based interdisciplinary, degree program.

The program provides students with the tools to study, encounter, and engage with immigrants, internationals, and refugees across the globe.

Transnational migration is becoming a day to day phenomenon across cultures. According to data from the Migration Policy Institute (2016), the net migration to the United States between 2010 and 2015 was about 5 million. Recent events in Western Asia and Europe illustrate the plight of millions of displaced people.

Migration Studies enable students to examine both natural and man-made causes of population migration at various levels. It also examines processes as well as the challenges people face as they try to adjust to the new destinations. Knowledge of the diverse nature of population movements together with intercultural skills in engaging internationals, immigrants, and refugees opens doors for missional and career opportunities.

Choose a Specialization in Global Cultures

Mission always occurs in a cultural context. The programs "in Global Cultures" are designed to enable the student to reflect on the "where" and the "with whom" related to their academic discipline. Below are nine very specific sociocultural contexts -- all with an overlay of the spiritual dimension. These cultures may found all over the globe but are predominant in specific geographical regions.

The "in Global Culture" specialization allows you to enhance your degree program to be better prepared to serve in the location to which you have been called. Students have the opportunity to include one specialization from the list below. Or, students may choose a program-related specialization (see the Specialization tab above for details).

Choose Experiential Learning Opportunities

It is one thing to learn information, theories, and methodologies, but it is quite another to synthesize and apply what is learned to specific situations. However, the degree programs at Missional University incorporate specific experiential learning opportunities to bridge this gap. Students are able to customize their master degree programs with practicums, internships, mentorships, research, projects and thesis.
