M.A.--D.Min. PROGRAM

THE FOUR PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROGRAM ARE:
   1. Ministerial credentials or evidence of being under church authority.
   2. A bachelor's degree or equivalent. Your work experience and existing knowledge may help qualify you.
   3. Evidence of scriptural knowledge and belief as well as minimal familiarity with the history of the Christian Faith.
   4. A firm personal belief that you have been called and gifted for this vocation.

This program embraces a variety of Christian and other belief systems; e.g., Catholic, Baptist, Eastern religions, etc. A cursory awareness of what types of faith are being obeyed throughout the world gives an awareness that is required in a diverse society. As ministers, we must meet people where they are and therefore must have at least some understanding of their position.

Unless otherwise stated, it is suggested that students buy their textbooks on their own from such discount sources as Amazon.com.

TUITION FEE:  $750.00 THROUGH THE DOCTORATE PLUS ADD THE COST OF TEXTS.
