Christian Ministry - Friends University

Christian Ministry from Friends University is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (MACM) program and the courses are foundational, providing basic preparation for informed Christian service and for additional graduate-level theological education. The degree is a 36-hour program with a 21- hour common core curriculum. In addition, students elect 15 hours, which may provide focused preparation. Some options include a practicum and a thesis or final project. For students who graduate from Friends University with certain Religion/Philosophy majors, there is a modified program, which requires only 30-33 hours for completion of the degree. Schedule The coursework is offered in seven, eight-week classes with students pursuing only one course at a time. Core classes meet four hours one night per week, plus four hours on two Saturdays per course or eight hours on one Saturday (40 contact hours). The core courses are offered sequentially in four, seven- or eight-week courses the first year (end of August-May) and three during the second year (the end of August-March). Students may enroll in 6 hours of work in their area of interest during the summer months. The balance of the program (9 hours) may be completed following the last core course in the second year. The 36-hour program is designed to be completed in two calendar years. A student may not extend program enrollments beyond five years. View more details on Friends University .
