What Can I Study?
Master's Programs
The Master of Arts in Ministerial Leadership: Ministry degree program enriches the work of ministry leaders—serving in local churches, faith based non-profit organizations, and a variety of other ministry contexts—through an interdisciplinary curriculum of theological studies, biblical studies, Christian formation, and ministry practices. The final 15 hours of the degree program emphasizes the application of preaching, leadership, pastoral care, and congregational leadership practices in ministry contexts.
Southeastern University’s Master of Arts (Theological Studies) degree is a 48 credit hour online program that provides a broad understanding of the systematic, historical, biblical, ethical, and practical theologies. Courses also cover how to interact critically with affirming and opposing theories. Graduates will gain sound theological education for church ministry or for teaching at secondary academies or at an undergraduate college level in the field of theological studies.
Southeastern University’s online Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA) program explores business strategy, human resources, and global social entrepreneurship. The 39 credit hour curriculum is rooted in a Christian worldview, blending relevant business experiences with moral and ethical teachings to prepare students for a successful career as a servant leader. While learning core business management skills, students will examine various leadership styles, traits, and skills from a holistic approach. They will also study the leadership of other cultures and discuss key similarities and differences in their communication styles, teamwork, and motivation. Coursework will also focus on the complications and strategies for effective human resource management as they relate to acquisition, management, and retention of an organization’s workforce. Through a capstone course, students will learn how to identify and assess key business issues and implement a strategic plan using ethical Christian ideals.
The Master of Science in Pastoral Care and Counseling degree uses theological principles and advanced counseling techniques to promote spiritual, emotional, physical and mental wholeness through Bible-based counseling and pastoral care. This online program consists of 36 credit hours, six of which are practicum courses. Note: Although the completion of this program may provide the credentials for career advancement within students’ church or private sector, it does not lead to state licensure as a clinical professional. Students are responsible for understanding their state’s pastoral counseling rules regarding a dispensation or exemption for clergy or those operating under the umbrella of a cognizable denomination or a church.
