Master of Arts Degree Program
The purpose of the MA program is to educate and equip those who are called to ministry but who don’t need the full MDiv to reach their professional goals. The MA is designed to be flexible in order to prepare students for a variety of potential vocational paths in the church, the academy, or the broader world.
There are three learning outcomes desired for graduates of our M.A. program:
Biblical Hermeneutics: Graduates, together with others in community, will read the Scriptures faithfully, critically, and imaginatively.
Systematic Theology: Graduates will articulate and confess the character, identity, and work of the Triune God in the world from diverse biblical, historical, and theological perspectives.
History of Christianity: Graduates will demonstrate the ability to understand the origins and spread of Christianity and the ways this history continues to shape persons and communities.
In addition, M.A. concentrations may have additional learning outcome(s). Refer to those pages for more information.
