*Note: Students choosing to pursue the thesis option will also take DGEN 697 Preparing a Thesis Proposal as one of their concentration courses. Total Degree (48 hours) Master of Arts Degree (M.A.) M.A. in Practical Theology Program (Program delivered entirely online or partially online and partially face-to-face.) The M.A. in Practical Theology is a 48-credit-hour professional degree for those who have been called to specialized ministry settings. The heart of this program is the understanding from the perspectives of the Bible that theology is intensely practical in its application. Further, this program underscores the importance of balanced reasoning informed by Scripture, which precedes and inspires works of effective ministry. Spiritual formation, coursework, research, internships and practica are directed toward the development of practical solutions to ministry challenges. This degree is intended to provide relevant studies of the Scripture and ministry foundations for pastors, staff ministers, missionaries, military personnel and other professionals pursuing further graduate work. It is an excellent preparation for anyone aspiring to leadership-service positions within the church, the church staff or within nonprofit organizations, e.g., Christian education director, minister to youth, staff pastoral counselor. Also, the program is ideal for ordination preparation for some churches and denominations. The M.A. in Practical Theology is a professional degree related to and carrying the same GPA requirements as the MDiv degree. M.A. students are required to maintain a 2.5 GPA. The M.A. in Practical Theology is designed to prepare church leaders and Christian workers in foundational studies of the Bible and ministry skills. Ideal for ministry specialists, it prepares one for roles and tasks that might differ from those expected of senior pastors or other traditional church leadership roles. Ministry specialists such as pastors to youth, evangelists, discipleship instructors and support-role missionaries may find this degree perfect for their individualized training needs. It provides the Christian ministerial foundations for those called to bi-vocational ministries, i.e., one pastoring a newly planted church while employing professional skills in the marketplace for financial support. The M.A. in Practical Theology is well-suited for ministers at the entry-level stage of development seeking the clarifying input of mentors and faculty. It is just as appropriate for senior ministry staff desiring a sabbatical or refresher experience. This program is the suggested degree plan for those on campus seeking a joint degrees option with one of the other colleges or schools at Regent University. School of Divinity Page 151
