Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies
- Purpose: The Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies is designed for those students who already have a foundation in biblical studies. Professional ministry vocations, for which the degree is primarily designed to equip students, include pastoral ministry, missions, chaplains and others with a biblical and theological basis for church related ministries. The program also serves as the foundational degree to prepare students for further studies in preparation for vocations in research, teaching, and writing in biblically related fields. Consequently, Empowerment Bible University seeks to maintain a healthy balance in the program among the biblical, theological, and practical studies. All students must complete 36 credit hours to earn the Master of Science in Pastoral Studies Degree. A minimum of 30 credit hours must be earned through Empowerment Bible University.
- Course Prerequisite: A Bachelor Degree is required for students seeking enrollment into a Master degree program.
