Each academic year Mid-Continent University offers students an optional travel study course.  This four-hour elective course includes class time and travel to a chosen location providing different cultural and learning opportunities.  Travel varies to domestic and international locations.  The benefits of this educational opportunity outside the classroom are unique.  Students grow and expand in ways that can never be achieved in the confines of the regular classroom.  Student testimonials are inspirational about the overall experience and how much they learn.

COURSE NAMES:

TRS 1014 - Travel Study (Freshman)

TRS 4014 - Travel Study ( Senior)

ENCOUNTER MISSIONS (3 hours)

Any student may consider, as an elective, the “Encounter Missions” class.  The class is a complete mission opportunity and designed especially in support of that part of the University’s “Mission Statement” which reads:

Equip and train students for carrying out the Great Commission of our Lord (Matthew 28:18-20).

A practical application of Christian ministry and missions in the United States and around the world.
