¹

Students in the Torrey Honors College or who have already taken 30 credits of Bible may need to take INCS 450 (Theology of Mission) and/or INCS 465 (Integration Seminar: Gospel and Culture) instead of their BBST equivalents, and in those cases the number of INCS credits required may increase to 45 or 48 since the 42 INCS required program credits do not include these two BBST/INCS courses.

²

All INCS students must complete at least one 9-credit concentration and take a minimum of six elective credits. Students who decide to move from a concentration to a minor hosted by the INCS department will not be required to declare a concentration (and will also be exempted from taking six additional credits of INCS/ANTH electives). If a student's concentration is INDS, INTE, or INCL, they must choose INCS electives. The other INCS concentrations may choose electives in INCS, INTE, or ANTH.

³

One concentration and one secondary emphasis (different from the selected concentration) may be taken using the 9-credit concentration requirement and the 6-credit elective requirement. As detailed below, emphases are available in Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology; International and Community Development; Missions; and Peace and Justice.

The Department of Undergraduate Intercultural Studies issues a digital badge in recognition of the achievements of students from outside the INCS major and minors who complete coursework equivalent to an emphasis with a "C+" or higher in both specified courses. Please contact the department for details.
A digital badge in “Intercultural Competence” may be issued upon request to students from outside the INCS major and minors for completion of INCS 231 and INCS 420 with a "C+" or higher in both courses. Please contact the department for details.
