Concurrent MAMC and MTS Degrees
The concurrent Master of Arts in Ministry for a Multicultural Church (MAMC) and Master of Theological Studies (MTS) degrees offer training in pastoral ministry along with academic theological research. The program is designed to take 3 years, as many of the curriculum requirements overlap. The goals of the concurrent MAMC/MTS degrees are the same as for the individual degrees. MAMC/MTS students are required to:
