Intercultural Studies at Crown College

You really get to dive in with your peers who are also like minded and wanting to serve God in various capacities. So you’re not just stuck to people that want to do a very particular thing, but instead you get to be with a bunch of different people and we get to grow closer to God together. It’s just a very holistic major that lets us pull from a bunch of different skills.
