The Master of Arts in Christian Education: Student Ministry (MAST) is a program to prepare student leaders for local church ministries and vocational work.

The Master of Arts in Teaching program (MAT) enhances professional development of educators who are committed to excellence in the classroom through a focus on expertise in content areas, effective teaching strategies, enhanced delivery of instruction, and purposeful assessment. The program is designed for individuals who are interested in pursuing a master’s degree or additional certification and to equip educators to become servant leaders within the school setting.

Teacher certified MAST/MAT students have the program options of earning special education, reading, or ESL certificates to add to their initial certification. Students seeking additional certificates will be required to pass the appropriate state certification (TExES) tests.
