The Master of Arts in Applied Theology develops theological and philosophical literacy through the reading of significant, transformational texts and critical reflection on key theological ideas. With a focus on practice-oriented engagement, you’ll be challenged to apply theology to life issues in the marketplace and in the church. The program also offers you the opportunity to participate in national and international study and mission opportunities to develop social imagination and stimulate global awareness.
