Course Title: Thinking Christianly in a Changing Culture (Spurgeon’s College)
Course Code: IS 398 England
Course Description: Christian Worldview has been described as learning to “think Christianly.” Yet the conflicting philosophies and truth claims of the 21st century put new pressures on those who seek to see the world through the lens of a biblical worldview. In this course we will examine the competing worldviews that impact our culture, using the cosmopolitan city of London as our setting, and will evaluate ways that a faithful biblical worldview speaks to the needs of age. This course will explore London’s culture, history and the impact of family, as well as their views on Christianity. (This course is a core-course and not departmental class.)

Eligibility Requirements: Anderson students are eligible to enroll in an international study course (AU Abroad) with their advisor’s approval. This includes freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. However, scholarship eligibility depends upon class rank, GPA and financial need.
Scholarship Eligibility: Scholarships are awarded to help reduce the cost of the travel fee, which is an additional charge as part of student’s registration for the program. The AU Abroad scholarship ranges up to $1,000.00 and is awarded upon eligibility, GPA and financial need. To be eligible for the AU Abroad scholarship, students must be a junior or senior. However, students who are sophomores in the nursing and/or education major are eligible for the AU Abroad scholarship. (This exception is made because nursing and education majors have limited availability for classes in their junior and senior year.) First-year students are not eligible for the AU Abroad scholarship but can register and take any international studies course with academic approval.
