Cross-cultural experiences have been a part of the Bluffton University experience
for several years. We especially want to ensure that students can enroll in international
experiences where program and travel costs are higher but the experience is "once
in a lifetime." A $100,000 goal is set to ensure that all students, regardless of financial means, can take full advantage of this transformational experience. |

A student’s education comes full-circle during the final course in the Bluffton Blueprint, Christian Values in a Global Community, when students are challenged to answer the same question posed to John the Baptist. |
