Most Recent Reviews
Southwest Baptist University is a Christian University in southwest Missouri. The on campus community is very close. Professors and staff members are dedicated to helping students be ready for careers and life after college. I was a student in the social work program. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Social Work and I have been more than prepared.
The Intercultural Studies department at SBU is very unique; it was the first of its kind. I just recently got back from my six months abroad, and my classes very much prepared me for living overseas and doing mission work. I would recommend this program to anyone who has a desire to do missions, especially overseas. You learn so much about other cultures but also about yourself!
