The ABTS program has been a perfect fit for our ministry in Korea. By taking only 1-2 courses per year, it enables us to keep fresh and growing while doing ministry. ('05 Grad)

The Master of Arts (MA) degree is a 63 credit hour program providing opportunity for in-depth investigations into the three basic content areas. A substantial elective category allows students to explore areas appropriate to their ministry context. Students who have not accomplished any postgraduate studies are encouraged to complete the In-Ministry MRE degree before progressing to the MA degree.
