 Recognizing
the critical need for future leaders, Dallas Baptist University
has partnered with the Focus on the Family Institute from
its inception in 1995 to provide a creative alternative to
a traditional education. A division of Focus on the Family,
the Focus on the Family Institute study program is conducted
at the scenic Colorado Springs campus. Qualified professionals
train students in coursework related to family issues in our
society. Students explore special job training and networking
opportunities within their field of study while involved in
internships within Focus on the Family and the broader community.
The Focus
on the Family Institute is committed to transforming hearts
and minds. The program is designed to move students from an
understanding of God and the family to a heartfelt passion
to serve Him and those within their field of study, interest,
and calling. Individualized one-on-one attention and guidance
from skilled professors and mentors nurtures the student's
spiritual, vocational, and life goals. Regardless of whether
a student's major is in marketing, biology, history, engineering,
education, religion, or any other academic discipline, a semester
at the Institute will help participants see the world from
a distinctively Christian family world view.
This
unique, challenging, and life-changing experience is designed
to address the issues facing today's families. Outstanding
students gain practical, relevant knowledge from classes that
survey the latest trends on crucial family issues, and are
exposed to today's religious, educational, political, and
pro-family leaders. The student is challenged to balance the
tremendous responsibility of excelling in difficult coursework
and being stretched in a unique practicum, with exciting student
life opportunities and personal accountability. Juniors or
seniors from all majors are eligible to apply for the fall
or spring 15-credit-hour program. A six-week 8-credit-hour
summer program without practicum is also available. www.focusinstitute.org
