The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Study Programs

Because Atlantic Baptist University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, a number of off-campus learning experiences are available to students.

American Studies Program:

The American Studies Program, founded in September 1976, serves as the "Washington campus" of Council member colleges.  Based on the principle of integrating faith, learning and living, students spend a semester in Washington, DC earning academic credit by serving as interns and participating in a contemporary, issue-oriented seminar program.  Available internships may include congressional offices, social service agencies, think tanks, or cultural institutions.  The American Studies Program is designed for juniors and seniors with a wide range of academic majors and vocational interests.

Latin American Studies Program:

An opportunity to live and learn in Latin America is available to students from Council member colleges through the Latin American Studies Program.  Located in San Jose, Costa Rica, the program is committed to helping students examine and live out the Lordship of Jesus Christ in an international context.  Each semester, a group of approximately 25 students is selected to participate in this seminar and service experience.

Los Angeles Film Studies Center:

In January 1991, the Christian College Council inaugurated the Los Angeles Film Studies Center.  Its purpose is to enable Christian college students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with professional skill and Christian integrity.  Located in Burbank near major production studios, the semester-long program combines seminar courses with an internship in various segments of the film industry, providing students the opportunity to explore the industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.

Middle East Studies Program:

The Middle East Studies Program in Cairo, Egypt provides students with the opportunity to study Middle Eastern cultures, religions and conflicts from within this diverse and strategic region.  Juniors and seniors from Christian colleges participate in interdisciplinary seminar classes, receive Arabic language instruction and serve as interns with various organizations in Cairo.  The Middle East Studies Program will encourage evangelical Christians to relate to the Muslim world in an informed and constructive manner.

Russian Studies Program:

The Russian Studies Program allows juniors and seniors from Christian colleges to spend a semester living and learning in Russia.  Students will study the language and attend seminar courses on Russian culture, history and current political and economic issues.  Program participants experience a variety of Russian cities, living for two weeks in Moscow, ten weeks in Nizhni Novgorod (formerly Gorky) and three weeks in St. Petersburg.

Council-Affliliated Programs:

Au Sable Institute Of Environmental Studies:

Located in Michigan, this program offers courses which cover various aspects of environmental studies and stewardship. Ecological information is provided along with experience in both field and laboratory techniques.  Scholarship assistance is available to students at Council member colleges.

Oxford Summer School Program:

Students at Council member colleges and universities are invited to apply for admission to the Oxford University Summer School Program, a multi-disciplinary study of the history and development of the Renaissance and Reformation through examination of the philosophy, art, literature, science, music, politics and religion of this era.  Students have the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, which is affiliated with Oxford’s Keble College.
