Global Studies

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

Saint Augustine, Christian Theologian (345-430)

Why Global Studies?

The Global Studies degree at Colorado Christian University is relevant to a large variety of careers from international business to serving as missionaries and pastors around the world. Global Studies majors are encouraged to complete a semester of study abroad during their time at CCU. Near the end of the program, students participate in a capstone course called Global Social Justice where they explore Christ’s mandate to the Church and how that call personally affects them.

Global Studies in the Christian University

There has never been a greater need to gain a broader global perspective. As the world continues to change, it is crucial for evangelical Christians to seek to understand and learn how to relate to different cultures. The Global Studies degree at CCU is built on a foundation of international political science and economics, breaking down ethnocentrism and giving students a global perspective on different cultures throughout the world. Students may combine the Global Studies major with any number of different minors to help them customize a program in their area of interest.
