Educational Studies

Our Master of Arts in Educational Studies is designed to train students for professional ministry positions within the church and other Christian organizations, such as NGOs and educational institutions. Students will receive a theoretical background in educational philosophy within the context of ministry and will be able to specialize in one of five majors. This degree program can be pursued via Distance Education, and there are numerous hybrid study options available as well.
Students may specialize in one of six tracks of study: Educational Ministry, Leadership, Student Development, TESOL, TTESOL or Youth Ministry Studies.
