Global Studies Diploma

Two-Year Intensive

After consulting with mission agencies, RMC has developed a practical program allowing students to quickly gain the skills necessary for entry-level positions in crosscultural ministry. The program is:

• Short - only two years and the last semester is spent overseas - 16 months after you start you are on the field!
• Intense - most options require additional courses in the summer or during the regular semester
• Job-Ready - practical, career-oriented skills are developed
• Biblically & Theologically grounded - You will build a solid biblical worldview foundation from which to serve interculturally
• Partnerships - we have established partnerships with Mount Royal University, Wycliffe Bible Translators and Alberta Bible College to offer most of the career preparation training
• Intercultural - You will gain understanding of and experience in living and working in a crosscultural setting
• International - You will travel on an extended practicum (up to a year) serving Christ in another country
• Social Justice - As you serve as part of a team you will be helping to address critical issues such as ignorance, poverty, disease, hunger, and injustice. You will be a vital member of a team bringing the hope of Christ to some of the most vulnerable and exploited people of the world.

We have developed partnerships with several institutions in order to offer a wide range of job-ready skills that you could use internationally or locally. Our partners include: SAIT Polytechnic, Mount Royal University, Bow Valley College, Trinity Western University and Alberta Bible College.
