Master of Arts in Theological Studies

The Master of Arts in Theological Studies (M.A.T.S.) degree program is intended for people preparing for doctoral studies, church leadership positions, or specialized lay ministry. The degree may also be used to investigate the relationship between a profession and issues of faith.

Entering students may concentrate their studies in any of five fields of specialization: Old Testament, New Testament, theology, church history, and ethics. Full-time students complete the program in two years.

Prospective M.A.T.S. students are encouraged to attend one of our Conferences on Ministry, offered in November and February of each year.
