life.

The Graduate Diploma of Studies in Christian Education is designed for those students
who are seeking a stronger background in education from a Christian perspective but will
be pursuing CE as an avocation or adjunct ministry rather than a career. It is a
practitioner’s course for CE workers, pastors, teachers, or church leaders—those
involved in the planning, management, and delivery of educational services of church and
para-church organizations. It contains all the concentration CE courses included in the
M.Div. CE program. Provision is made for CE students to choose a development-based
(preschoolers, children, youth, adults) or a family-oriented course as part of their
concentration.

The Master of Arts in Christian Education is a two-year degree program for persons who
desire to prepare for leadership positions in church and para-church organizations
including formal education ministries. This program will enable students to grow in their
ability to formulate a biblical philosophy of education and to apply that philosophy to the
Asian context. Students will gain an understanding of basic principles of teaching and
learning as well as develop specific competencies for teaching, organizing, and
administering educational programs. The students will learn to design curricula to fit the
needs of their target audience. Growth in ability to apply selected principles of pedagogy
and andragogy to specific age groups and to families is a key objective of the Master of
Arts in Christian Education. This program also addresses students’ needs to be
theologically informed and to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. The Master
of Arts in Christian Education builds upon the Graduate Diploma of Studies in Christian
Education. As a degree program it focuses on Christian Education as a profession.
Students may follow one of two plans consisting of sixty units each. Plan A involves
completing a thesis/project. Plan B allows students to take comprehensive examinations
instead of writing a thesis.
In addition to classroom studies, Master of Arts in Christian Education students are
required to complete one internship and participate in care groups for two semesters.
