TST-KE Faculty

The TST-KE works diligently to maintain the academic excellence characteristic of Talbot School of Theology while, at the same time, providing culturally relevant instruction in the Eurasian context. To do so, about half of the professors for the TST-KE are full-time Talbot professors who fly over from the La Mirada campus to KTS to teach. The other half of our professors are full-time missionaries who have experience teaching in a cross-cultural context. This balance ensures that the education that the TST-KE students receive will be as ministerially practical as it is academically rigorous.
