Choosing the best Master’s Program for you
For those seeking a more specialized degree, the Master of Arts provides multiple options. For our most comprehensive pastoral preparation, we offer the Master of Divinity. For a solid foundation in biblical and theological studies with the core practices of ministry, the Master of Ministry is a strong choice.
