Overview

The Orphaned and Vulnerable Children program at Taylor University incorporates classes from Public Health, Missions, Education, Social Work, Psychology, and Anthropology. You will also take unique courses that will provide an overview of the current struggles vulnerable children worldwide face regularly.

Further Reach Than the Classroom

OVC students study trends in orphan/child care and interventions, fundraising, non-profit management, and health—all of which will be complemented by hands-on experience.

Students gain real-world exposure to local and global issues vulnerable children face by participating in two internships—one local or national and one international. By having one global and one domestic practicum, students will receive a multi-angle perspective of orphan care while becoming aware of cultural biases, identifying differences in ethical issues, practicing humility and sensitivity, and building their own character.
