M.A. in Christian Studies

• M.A. in Christian Studies

The Master of Arts in Christian Studies (MACS) is a fully online graduate degree designed to provide basic theological education for persons who want to be better equipped for ministry and/or advance in their employment setting, but who have little or no previous theological education and have limited time to attend graduate school. Upon successful completion of this degree plan, the student should evidence knowledge and skills applicable to working in general Christian ministry. Its design also qualifies a missionary candidate whose mission board requires a year of graduate theological education for appointment (e.g. those undertaking specialized assignments, such as in medicine or agriculture).
