Domestic Programs
A. American Studies Program
American Studies Program (ASP) is offered through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. The ASP's goal is to offer students opportunities for "interdisciplinary reflection on public life and vocation, practical marketplace experiences and community living." Students spend the semester in Washington D.C. and will first "develop an appreciation for how the integral character of biblical faith relates to thinking critically about public policy and marketplace issues, and second, to nurture a desire to take up responsible Christ-centered service in their personal and public vocations, whatever their career paths or walks of life." http://www.bestsemester.com/asp/overview/
