It was definitely worthwhile! I learned to be more confident and independent, I was basically fluent in Spanish while down in Costa Rica, I met amazing friends, and I tried so many new foods and activities! Allison Lease - Bethany Lutheran College View Entire Review
I learned about a whole new culture and was able to connect to them through learning the language, ministry work, and having a host family that made sure I was always taken care of. It was definitely worthwhile! Kari K - Berea College View Entire Review
About
Each Veritas program includes a Mission Mentor who disciples Veritas students in their experiences through prayer, reflection, and spiritual support as well as connects them to ministry partners and local churches. The International Mission/Service-Learning Practicum provides a great opportunity to reinforce the cross-cultural missions experience in-country. Students will receive college credits for the reflection activities, journal entries, and cultural research which enhance the overall experience.
Fall and Spring semester students will take one three-credit Veritas course and the International Missions/Service-Learning Practicum (1-3 credits). Students will have the opportunity to choose from a broad selection of other courses from the Roehampton University catalog to maintain full-time status and fulfill their academic requirements.
