Spring Arbor University's Cross Cultural Studies organizes and plans 3-week and semester programs that engage and educate students about cultures all over the world.
At Spring Arbor University, the embodiment of the SAU ideology is the Concept, which informs each area of the University, including cross cultural studies. The Concept reads:
A community of learners distinguished by our lifelong involvement in the study and application of the liberal arts, total commitment to Jesus Christ as our perspective for learning, and critical participation in the contemporary world.
If we want to intelligently participate in contemporary world affairs we must realize that we are no longer an isolated people, but part of a global community intimately linked to the rest of humanity and the world. This vague notion only becomes reality when there is actual interaction with those different than ourselves. The Spring Arbor University cross cultural requirement attempts to bring theory and experience together in an embodiment of the Concept for each graduate.
