Create spiritual and social impact through entrepreneurship.
With the realities of sweeping world change, modern missionaries are finding creative ways to let the light of Christ shine brightly. At IPROMEL we are launching a new program that will teach you how to not only transform lives, but influence societies through entrepreneurship.
This program is a compilation of Bible, theology, intercultural studies, business, and liberal arts classes to help you think critically, live godly, adapt to other cultures quickly, and start businesses in difficult environments. This degree blends learning in a classroom with hands-on experience in one of our 16-month internship.
