Our Master of Arts degree brings the interdisciplinary insights and methods of the fine arts, 业务, and the social sciences into the study of 神学 and the practice of Christian ministry. This program has a core curriculum of up to 27 credits, which consists of three intensive introductory courses on the intersection of Christian formation and 1) Discipleship, 2)任务, and 3) Reconciliation (6 credits).
除了, students are required to take several courses in Bible, 教会历史, 和神学/伦理, in conjunction with the Graduate Core Practicum (6 credits). 核心学分之外, students completing the MA-THEO degree will choose a concentration* with classes specifically focused on their area of study. MA浓度为:

*Students may also opt to specialize in more than one area. Completing a dual-concentration degree can be achieved with as few as 60 total credits, depending on the selected concentrations.
In partnership with SPU’s School of Business and 经济学 and 心理学院，家庭, 和社区, we offer five dual degree programs that enable you to earn two advanced degrees in less time than it would take you to earn the same two degrees separately.
This certificate program equips you with an understanding of Christian formation and vocation, and the practices that nurture an ongoing life of discipleship and mission in the 21st century.
