Capstone Overview


In order to complete the Master of Arts degree, students in all concentrations shall submit a writing or ministry project and achieve a passing grade. The writing, ministry project, or portfolio  is reviewed and approved by faculty. 

Students who have completed all course requirements except the capstone project will be automatically enrolled in Continuation Status. A continuation fee, which is not covered by scholarship, will be assessed and is payable prior to graduation. A limit of one semester is allowed for Continuation Status. Students who fail to complete the writing or ministry project after one semester of Continuation Status will be withdrawn from the program and must reapply for admission if they wish to continue in a degree program.
