Cross Cultural Communication
In a shrinking world with expanding global economy, cross cultural communication is perhaps one of the fastest growing fields for the graduate of tomorrow.
Hesston College offers a number of courses that explore the variety of international cultures - such as Modern Languages and Interpersonal Communication. The faculty themselves are a well traveled group. Over half of them have traveled or lived abroad.
But internationalism can be found outside the classroom too. About 10 percent of the students here are internationals, and that means you have opportunities to interact with students from all over the world. Hesston’s small student body and warm, nurturing environment will encourage you to build friendships and broaden your understanding of our global neighbors.
