The College at Southeastern offers the Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies (MAIS), a program designed to prepare students for effective service in a cross-cultural setting, especially designed for those with experience in cross-cultural settings. The 54-hour curriculum can be completed in two years of full-time study in any combination of distance (i.e., online or extension) and on campus (i.e., hybrid and traditional) courses. The MAIS is available in a general track or with the more specialized concentration in Orality.
Admissions Requirements
Students seeking the MAIS must hold a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited school and meet the general requirements for admission to graduate study in the College.

This special version is also available to students seeking a Master of Divinity with International Church Planting. More information on these requirements may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
