Masters Program
The E.C.M.U.I. Masters program is a comprehensive program of both general and specialized coursework which seeks a foundational understanding of scripture, at the graduate level, whereby practical skill will be attained and developed in order to properly and authoritatively serve in the body of Christ.
The Masters degree is designed to be completed in full-time study, in 2 years, however, the part-time or correspondence student has the liberty to complete it at his/her own pace with the majority of students completing the Masters program and graduating, on the average, in 4-5 years.
As the church, ministry and para-church ministries become increasingly global and subject to rapid change, the brick and mortar framework of traditional graduate level study has seen the need to keep up with the constant development of new and expanding areas of ministry and the dynamics of those changes. Many pastors do so full-time, work part-time and study part time. Many career minded Christians are returning back to the academic halls as they see the opportunity to involve themselves in active ministry in addition to a full-time career.
These changes have impacted not only the local church but they also determine how Missions, Evangelism and Church Planting are being done in the 21st Century. We have tailored the E.C.M.U.I. Masters degree to meet the criteria of a foundational Post-Bacclaurate degree for theological scholasticism and sound preparation for those fulfilling the ordination requirements of their given ministries and as such prospective students who apply for the Masters degree program will culminate their studies with the submission of a, no less than 30 page, Thesis to the Faculty Director for review. However, our programs at E.C.M.U.I. strive to also produce practicality in graduates who are capable of adapting to and applying God's word to real-world, 21st Century challenges and to be leaders and champions for the Lord Jesus Christ in their chosen fields and respective ministries and career paths.
