Graduate Degree Programs

Our graduate degree programs serve men and women who are already engaged in teaching, counseling, or ministry, as well as those preparing to step into these responsibilities. Each program combines academic rigor with practical application so your study directly supports your calling.

The Master's Degree in Education deepens your understanding of learning theory, instructional design, and leadership in Christian educational settings. It is well suited for Christian school teachers, administrators, and church education directors who want stronger academic preparation and broader influence. The Master's Degree in Counseling develops advanced counseling skills, assessment strategies, and ethical practice informed by a Christian worldview, preparing students for professional or pastoral counseling roles in a variety of settings.

Our Master's Degree in Theology provides graduate-level theological education for those pursuing teaching, preaching, or scholarly ministry. You will engage carefully with Scripture, historical theology, and contemporary issues facing the church today.

For experienced ministers and scholars, we offer three doctoral programs. The Doctorate of Biblical Studies focuses on advanced research in biblical texts and contexts, preparing you for serious scholarship and teaching. The Doctorate of Ministry centers on seasoned ministry practice, helping pastors and ministry leaders refine their leadership, preaching, and pastoral care in light of current challenges. The Doctorate of Theology is a scholarly doctorate emphasizing theological research, critical analysis, and writing for those called to long-term academic or thought-leadership roles.

Students may study online or through hybrid formats, with start times that fit real ministry calendars. Our faculty-experienced in theology, counseling, and education-provide structured guidance in course selection, research planning, and dissertation or project design. Where appropriate, prior graduate work and significant ministry experience are carefully evaluated to determine advanced standing and create a realistic, achievable path through your chosen degree.
