The Global Studies & Service semester includes enrollment in internationally acclaimed universities in five diverse locations. Upon arrival, students are welcomed by a mission mentor, join a Christian community of domestic and international believers, and participate in culturally-immersive ministry opportunities.
As a part of a well-rounded classical liberal arts education, GSS helps students to improve communication skills, apply critical thinking skills, develop a heart of gratitude, and better understand what it means to be human.

“Going to Korea University was a confirmation that I had truly received a stellar education at PHC…I interacted with students from other universities and realized that the levels of rigor and excellence we have here is honestly kind of rare. KU's academics were great and I learned a ton, but when it came to personal excellence, PHCers stood out to me.” ~ Elizabeth Sluka
