Intercultural Studies

Degree Program

MTS Specialization

Global Frontier Missions partners with Crown College, Eternity Bible College and Covenant Theological Seminary to award transfer credit for students who complete GFM’s in-person or online Missionary Training School. These institutions offer certificates or degrees as well as continued education opportunities. Many missions sending agencies require specific Bible and ministry-related credits to join them; these certificates and degrees may fulfill some or all of the requirements and pre-requisites for some missions organizations.


The Intercultural Studies Degree Program add-on is an additional $850 for transfer and degree fees. Upon acceptance to MTS there are additional steps required to qualify for college credit.
