Academic Recommendation
This program progression includes recommended changes after a review of the MA in Ministry and the addition of a Master of Divinity degree that can be completed through taking traditional courses OR achieving specific competencies within a ministry context. Both tracks would be pursued following the completion of the MA in Ministry.
As a part of regular curriculum review, this program progression includes recommended changes to the Certificate, Diploma, and Bachelor of Arts in Ministry degrees with the purposes of improving student retention, encouraging ministry formation in community with fellow students, and reducing redundancy between the Diploma and Bachelor degree programs.
