China Studies Program
A one-semester interdisciplinary program which enables students to
view China from the inside and experience its culture and diversity.
Participants are able to observe the evolution of Chinese socialism in
mainland China, its struggles with modernization, economic change
and human rights policies, as well as its relationship to religion and the
dynamics of its people.
Latin America Studies Program
The program provides students with an opportunity to live and study in
Costa Rica for a semester, either in the fall or winter. The program is
designed to expose students to the nature of the economic and political
relations between the developing nations of Latin America and those
of North America, to deepen awareness of the life of Christians in the
Third World, and to develop an understanding of the Lordship of Jesus
Christ in an international context.
Los Angeles Film Study Center Program
This program is offered in both the fall and winter terms. It is designed
to expose students to the Hollywood film industry, to the many
academic disciplines appropriate to it, and to critical thinking and
reflection on what it means to be a Christian in film. The curriculum
consists of two required seminars focusing on the role of film in
culture and the relationship of faith to work in this very important
industry. In addition, students choose two elective courses and
participate in an internship.
Middle East Studies Program
This program provides students with an opportunity to live and study
in Cairo, Egypt for a semester, either in the fall or winter. The last
two weeks of the term are spent in Israel. Students study the Arabic
language, serve as interns in one of several organizations in Cairo, and
participate in several interdisciplinary seminars.
Programs in Oxford
Two programs are offered: Oxford Summer Programme or the Scholars
Semester in Oxford. Both provide students with an intensive academic
experience as a member of Wycliffe Hall and a visiting student of
Oxford University. Courses are completed in a tutorial style and
provide 17 credits towards the undergraduate degree: Classics, English
and Literature, Religion & Theology, Philosophy and History.
Canada Institute of Linguistics
The Canada Institute of Linguistics (CanIL) at Trinity Western
University prepares its students for effective cross-cultural
communication and language analysis leading to translation and
literacy work. It provides valuable training for all those planning
to work in another language and culture. The Canada Institute of
Linguistics offers a streamlined sequence of training. Courses are
packaged in three sets which may be completed in less than one year.
Each course set is an integrated package of language and culture
learning broken down into four courses for a total of 13 semester hours
of credit. It is recommended for anyone planning to work in a crosscultural
context. Course sets two and three may be taken as advanced
or graduate level courses for those who qualify. For more information
contact the Registrar’s Office at Redeemer or visit www.canil.ca.
Other Study Abroad Programs
Arrangements can also be made for students to take part in other
study abroad programs. Students who participate in these programs
will transfer appropriate courses back to the university rather than
having a letter of permission arranged prior to the term of study.
Participation in these programs requires the permission of the Chair
of the Academic Standards Committee. More information is available
from the Registrar’s Office.
