INTERNSHIPS

Internships is a mandatory learning experience for all TKU students

Ministry Internship (6 credits): The student spends minimum six months as an intern serving under the pastor of a local church. This allows the student to receive credit toward their degree while receiving hands-on experience in a structured work environment.

Education Internship (6 credits): The student spends minimum six months as an intern serving under the administrator of a Christian educational institution. This allows the student to receive credit toward their degree while receiving hands-on experience in a structured work environment.

At Triumphs Kingdom University Chapel Service are mandatory and very important, intergral essential ways of partially fulfilling the core values of the college: educating persons to be intellectually proficient and disciplined, spiritually astute and mature, vocationally focused and adaptive, socially confident and compassionate, life long learners, and transformers of culture.

The Common Experience in Triumphs Kingdom Universitys Core Curriculum requires a Cross-Cultural Experience:

The cross-cultural experience allows students to confront their own presuppositions about what culture is and what culture means. The experience also helps students broaden their awareness and appreciation of diverse cultures. It seeks to prepare them to operate more thoughtfully in a world that is increasingly interconnected. As students encounter other cultures, they may realize ways to interact creatively to meet needs they see and will also realize that new situations transform them.

The Cross-Cultural Experience requirement is separate and different from the Chapel, Convocation, and Service (CCS) requirement.

Cross-Cultural Experience credit requires:

at least thirty hours of direct contact with

a distinct population following

a culture markedly different from the students home culture;

a written reflection on the students presuppositions about the population and its culture, and

a written exploration on lessons learned during time with the population, including reflection on how the students presuppositions have changed.

Students should register for KING 3000 during the semester in which they plan to complete the requirement, generally in the semester or two before graduation. Doing so will give the student access to the KING 3000 which will allow the student to designate one of five ways for fulfilling the requirement.

Study Abroad

Triumphs Kingdom University students have a long tradition of studying abroad. Many of these opportunities allow students to travel to English speaking countries in Africa, the Pacific, or the U.K, while other destinations allow students to enhance their foreign language skills.

Triumphs Kingdom University has established bilateral relationships with various schools exchange programs, churches ministries and universities, which ensures that students receive transferable credit for their coursework in foreign countries.

Mission Trips

The University plans several mission trips each year. Short-term trips are scheduled during Spring Break to locations within the U.S. and abroad. The Chaplains Office plans longer trips to Africa, Asia, Pakistan, Phillipines, India, and several other destinations.

Students may also propose an activity as fulfilling the Cross-Cultural Experience requirement.

A student experience requires a demonstration of how the activity meets the requirements listed above. This demonstration has two parts:

completion of an in-depth proposal, and a final project (for example, a reflection paper or a poster session) exploring lessons learned during time with the population and considering how the students presuppositions have changed.

The Student Outreach Experience may be an extended service experience within the community, such as working at the Salvation Army, participating in volunteering at Remote Area expeditions, or befriending a child whose parent is in prison. To fulfill the Cross-Cultural Experience requirement, such activities need to go beyond regular service and address the requirements listed above regarding engagement with and reflection on the culture of a distinct population. Although the local option typically involves working with or through a local mission or service organization.

Please note: The student-Outreach experience must occur after matriculation to Triumphs Kingdom University. The student must complete the self-initiated Cross-Cultural Experience requirement before graduation. 

International Student Experience

Cross-cultural Experience in this category concerns the international students experience with the American culture. The writing of a reflective essay on the experience will fulfill the requirement.
