MASTER'S DEGREES
 Earning
a master's is much more than merely a step beyond the
bachelor's degree. It's a commitment to personal
excellence, a statement of humility ("I did not learn it
all."), and a push-back against the tendency to become
complacent. Earning your master's degree will relight
the lamp of fresh insights, and deeper meanings. The
knowledge you gain will be the key that unlocks doors of
service to the Master that you will never know existed unless
you are ready to go those two extra miles. More good
news...one of the great things about a master's degree in a
Christian ministry disciple is that you do not need to have a
ministry related bachelor's degree. If you have earned a
bachelor's degree in any discipline (from an acceptable
institution), you will qualify for any of the master's degrees
listed here. Once you have looked over the
programs below, start with requesting a free and personalized
evaluation. There
are no hooks, no gimmicks, no obligation...just the right
place to start if you sense the blessings of God to do so. |

M.A. in Biblical Studies, etc.). of not less than 30 credits,
and who wish to up-grade to the Master of Divinity degree.
More details: Total units required for the M.Div.
is 86. Entrance requires not less than 30 previously
earned acceptable credits. Total credits required are
not less than 24 and not more than 56 (depending on the total
credits accepted for transfer). Courses replaced by
