One Year Global Adventure Certificate

The purpose of this one-year certificate program is to combine academically credible discipleship training with a valid missions experience that goes far beyond observation and into hands-on preparation.
This is a 10-month program, which combines 8 months at Heritage with a 6-8 week summer experience.
NOTE: The summer field experience will cost approximately $5,000 in addition to regular tuition and housing. However, students will do fundraising through the program in order to assist with or even fully pay for this extra cost.
