Perspectives is offered throughout the year at some Regional Centers for World Mission and other extension sites around the world. Over 60,000 people have taken this course in the U.S. alone, with 12,000 alumni in New Zealand and other countries. The Perspectives Study Program is also available in Spanish and Korean, and other translations are in progress.

Undergraduate and graduate credit for the course is offered through 40 cooperating institutions. The course is also offered by correspondence. In addition, over 100 schools use the Perspectives Reader in their missions courses (over 120,000 in print).

With over 600 instructors at over 150 locations annually, 6,000 students are exposed to some of the most innovative missions minds each year. The course is taught by professors who have seen God at work all over the world - people like Don Richardson (missionary to the Sawi people and author of Peace Child), David Bryant (author of In the Gap, former mission specialist for InterVarsity, now Chairman of Concerts of Prayer International), and Ralph Winter (missionary to Guatemala and visionary founder of the USCWM).
