The Master of Arts in Christian Education is a professional graduate degree designed to equip students for service as a minister of education, minister of youth, minister to children, or as a teacher or administrator in a church-related school. This degree program is an excellent choice for a missionary serving internationally or domestically engaged in education ministries. The Master of Arts in Christian Education is a two-year program primarily related to specialized ministry in churches, requiring sixty semester hours of academic credit for graduation.
