Connecting Your Workplace to Our Students
Prairie students have been impacting communities around the globe for the past 100 years
A Legacy of Impactful work
Covering the Entire Canon:
- We are the only North American college to offer a study of the complete canon in undergraduate programs. The Bible is the foundation of our worldview: how we see ourselves, our vocation and work.
International Impact:
- International perspective which is represented in the 146 countries that Prairie graduates have worked in, but also in our Globetrek program which is an international internship spanning an entire academic year. Every program has a study abroad component. It is our mission to plant a heart for the world in our students, but also to give them cultural competencies to flourish in a variety of environments.
Focus on Discipleship:
- Discipleship is a core value. We have linked alumni to current students as mentors. With the 16:1 classroom ratio, our professors have opportunities to disciple students more effectively.
