A combined Christian Theology (BA) and Christian Leadership (MA) is ideal for students who feel called by God to serve in pastoral leadership and desire educational and formational training to support this vocation.
Through dual-function courses that count for both degree programs, you will be able to complete this combined degree in an accelerated timeline, graduating with both degrees within five years instead of six, as shown on this sample degree sequence (PDF) for the accelerated program.
视图 Degree Requirements
Christian Theology (BA)
- Undergraduate students should apply to the Christian Theology major 通过 online Major or Minor Application form no later than the fall of their junior year.
- Successful applicants to this accelerated major must have at least a 3.0的绩点.
- When applying to the accelerated major, students must submit an essay to the School of Theology associate dean of undergraduate studies describing their understanding of their vocation for pastoral leadership.
Upon acceptance in the Christian Theology undergraduate major, you will be advised by the associate dean on the completion of your major in order to have finished all but upper-division elective requirements for the BA by December of your fourth/senior year. 视图
Christian Leadership (MA)
- Students must apply for the Christian Leadership (MA) 通过 standard application process for that degree program (application form, 重新开始, personal essay, official transcripts attesting a minimum 3.0的绩点; two recommendation letters) no later than March 31 of their third/junior year.
- Once accepted into the graduate program, students will take master’s courses beginning in January of their senior year.
- Those master’s courses will transfer back to fulfill the remaining elective requirements in their major for their BA, while certain designated courses taken during their BA will fulfill specific course requirements of the MA.
During the time that they are pursuing the Christian Leadership (MA) degree, students will participate fully in the academy, 修道院, and apostolate components of the seminary curriculum, preparing them to serve in pastoral leadership positions upon graduation.
