The seminary confers a Master of Arts degree upon students who satisfactorily complete the prescribed program-related requirements. These may include the completion of a supervised ministry component, participation in formation coursework and developmental assessments, evaluation within accountability relationships, achievement of a cumulative grade point average of C (2.0) or above, and financial clearance from the Business Office. Graduation is not automatic when academic requirements have been met. Since the seminary aims to graduate men and women who qualify as Christian leaders, the faculty and administration will evaluate a student’s qualifications in terms of spiritual, doctrinal, and professional standards as well as academic standards.
