Testimonials

“One of my professors explained that learning is not simply memorizing facts. It is the creation of meaningful connections in the brain. That is the best explanation of the Intercultural Studies program at Alliance University. It is a system of learning that goes beyond the classroom. It is a system of learning that goes beyond the classroom. Through Intercultural Studies, I received practical experience and the tools to work abroad. During my internship in the Middle East, as well as my first two years in South Korea, I was constantly grateful for the perspectives studying Intercultural Studies at Alliance University had built into me.”

“Living on the ethnically diverse campus of Alliance University, with close access to the many cultures in New York City, was the perfect environment for studying cross-cultural living. Despite my uncertainty as to how marketable my Intercultural Studies degree would be, when the rubber hit the road in Uganda, I realized how well it had prepared me to live among and serve people of another culture.”
