United States Immersions

The in-person requirements for the M.Div. and M.A.M. can be met by in-person immersions. You will be required to do pre- and post-work online, while the majority of contact hours will occur in-person during the immersion trips. These experiences are more than just in-person learning. The week-long immersions will include course instruction, shared meals, worship, engagement with ministries/leaders and free time for study, relaxation and building community and relationships with other students. Recent immersions have included McAllen and Waco, Texas with plans to create further locations based on student geography. 

Global Theological Education Immersions

The Perkins Global Theological Education Program prepares Christian leaders for culturally complex churches and communities. Through seminars and significant immersion experiences in other cultures we prepare our students for lifelong growth in cultural intelligence and cross-cultural competence. Students gain firsthand experience in building intercultural relationships, resolving cultural conflicts, and guiding intercultural ventures.
