Learn to share the gospel across cultures
Do other cultures fascinate you? The people, customs, and geography? With an associate degree in Intercultural Studies from Moody, you can master how to effectively interact with people no matter their background. You’ll also learn how to communicate the gospel and serve the global church across cultural barriers. Study how world religions impact worldviews and gain a better understanding of the church around the world.
Whether you take classes in-person on the Chicago or Spokane Aviation campus (coming Fall 2023) or online wherever you are, study how world religions impact people of other cultures while effectively sharing Christ’s message of salvation.
