Overview

The Intercultural Studies programme from Northwest University draws from diverse fields such as history, world religions, and communication to equip you with both the knowledge and the field experience you need to do meaningful humanitarian work, whether close to home or abroad.

Why Intercultural Studies at NU?

Select one of eight different concentrations: Africa Studies, Asia Studies, Cross-Cultural Studies, Latin American Studies, or Middle East Studies as international focus areas; or First Nations Ministry, University Ministry, or Urban Ministry as local focus areas.

Benefit from small classes sizes that enable one-on-one interaction with faculty members who have both teaching and field experience.

Explore concepts from study areas like history, art, culture, theology, and world religions, while refining your communication skills.

Integrate your faith with your learning to prepare for effective work and ministry in a multicultural context.

Choose from multiple internship and study-abroad opportunities to gain immersive experience in your area of concentration.

Take advantage of NU’s location in the Seattle metro area to access job opportunities, intercultural experiences, and more.

An optional International Concentration can be completed during a semester abroad experience, with the site and host predetermined and arranged in consultation with a student's advisor.
