In our M.A. in Theological Studies degree program, you will study the Old and New Testaments, apologetics, and the history of Christianity in-depth, laying a foundation for your intercultural ministry, hermeneutics, and systematic theology classes. You will learn how to respond to philosophies like postmodernism and religious pluralism without compromising the biblical doctrines of sin, God, and Scripture.
Throughout the pursuit of your M.A.T.S. degree, you will be challenged to think about and interpret Scripture more carefully, equipping you for ministry as a pastor, author, missionary, or theologian. This degree also allows you to pick three elective courses, so you can tailor your degree to your specific ministry and educational goals.
