Student Experience
The student experience was at the heart of what MCSI was all about. MCSI's mission statement was to: "seek to equip men and women with the knowledge, life perspectives, values and vocational skills necessary to integrate Christian convictions and experience with the diverse contexts and challenges of personal, public and professional life."
In seeking to fulfill this mission we worked hard to make the MCSI student experience as rich, varied and interesting as possible:
There were of course the classroom experiences-
lectures and tutorials,
small groups & workshops, 
,
Then there was the individual study and reading,
and working in the MCSI library, 
There were also study retreats, mentoring,
and many shared experiences,
Classes were nearly always accompanied by breaktimes - usually involving coffee, biscuits, or even shared meals.
And at the end of it all, there was the hard earned certificate or degree: 
Many wonderful students came to study with MCSI. Through their unique input, questions, thinking and experiences, the students helped to form and develop the shape of MCSI. They also enriched the lives of other students, staff and faculty with whom they came into contact.
Thank you to each and every student who joined in the MCSI experience, whether it was just for a semester or for a whole degree!
