Faith International University Doctoral Programs

Faith International University offers the DMin, the Doctor of Strategic Leadership (seeing a few schools offering this including Regent University) and one I have not seen before: Doctor of Intercultural Studies.

"The Doctor of Intercultural Studies (DIS) degree is designed primarily to further equip leaders engaged in cultural ministry by deepening their understanding and application of lessons from intercultural communication, contextualization, socio-cultural dynamics, biblical theology, missional trends and analysis, and intercultural research. The degree fits well for leaders called to service as missionaries or evangelists who have intercultural experience in either western or non-western contexts. The goal of the program is to cultivate academic excellence, socio-cultural insight, and a sharpened understanding of biblical missions and evangelism which will enhance the personal and professional development of program participants. The DIS is an in-service 48-quarter hour program that allows participants to complete the program while remaining in fulltime ministry."

Faith is TRACS accredited.

I could see someone perhaps being able to adapt this to a secular setting as well in terms of analysis of culture, trends, and intercultural issues in organizations (business and non profit environments).

 

For some reason, FIU has inflated credit requirements for every degree they offer mostly owing to classes consisting of four hours. 48-64 credits for a DMin? That is the most I've ever seen. Given the intense amount of reading and writing I'm enduring at SBTS, I can't imagine 64 credits worth.

 

Couldn't find tuition rates but that also increases per course tuition.
