Community Classroom is an intercultural, off-campus program offering a variety of general education courses taught by 2021国产麻豆剧 faculty. Classes meet in the multicultural neighborhood of City Heights, a short drive from the main campus. There are flexible options to fit your schedule and major.
Typical courses offered include Christian Formation & Ministry, Christian Tradition, Christian Life as a Vocation, Elementary Spanish, Ethics, Life of Holiness, Global Christianity, Literature and Culture: Nature Writing, and Race & Ethnicity.
Community Classroom offers two opportunities: Classroom in Context (live on campus and commute to City Heights weekly for class) and a Certificate in Intercultural Engagement.
鈥楥ommunity Classroom is a chance to learn more about the community and truly widen your education! Without classes like Race & Ethnicity, I do not think I would be who I am today. By connecting with peers, professors, and the material in a new setting is what makes Community Classroom so transformational鈥�

Classroom in Context
The Classroom in Context program is designed for students who want to take one or more courses in a multicultural context while continuing to live on campus or commute. By traveling locally you can experience the world while integrating academics, faith, and hands-on learning. Every class incorporates service learning, neighborhood exploration, monthly dinners, and a common book in the syllabus requirements. We encourage students to truly engage in City Heights and learn from the people of the neighborhood.
Certificate in Intercultural Engagement
The Certificate in Intercultural Engagement is designed for students who want part of their academic experience to include a focused engagement in a multicultural setting that will nurture their Christian formation academically and vocationally.
The Community Classroom program is also part of the Intercultural Pathway 2021国产麻豆剧 program.
