What Will I Study?

The Master of Ministry degree is designed for those with a minimum of two years of pastoral experience and who, due to present pastoral ministry, are unable to enroll in a year long program in the Seminary. This degree is designed to further develop a man's philosophy of ministry and ministry skills both in the local church and on the mission field.

Courses are available in residence through a two-week modular format in January and July each year. A minimum of 18 hours must be completed in residence. By following the schedule of two-week courses, the candidate may complete up to 24 credits in residence within three years. Since the schedule introduces a new cycle of courses every four years, the candidate may complete all of his requirements through the two-week modular course schedule. Up to 12 hours of credit by video/satellite instruction from BJU 's Office of Extended Education may be applied with the prior approval of the Dean of the Seminary or through the Seminary's Institute for Holy Land Studies. The program requires 30 hours.

Missionary Track-- The missionary track is open only to missionaries currently serving on the foreign field. Twelve hours must be completed in residence, which may be completed in one or two summers (June and/or July). Eighteen hours of the program may be completed away from the campus through BJU's Office of Extended Education or study tours offered through the Seminary. Master of Ministry candidates approved for the missionary track will consult with the Dean of the Seminary for the planning of their programs.
