PROGRAM OF STUDIES

Our goal is not so much the accumulation of credits within an area of study as it is acquiring a skill and proficiency in the area. Jesus trained, or discipled, the twelve and supervised them as they followed His pattern of ministry. We, too, desire to disciple students to at least initial levels of proficiency in the areas of study before us. Basic proficiency and skill are required in the following five areas in order to graduate:

1. Bible
2. Possessing the Holy Character of God
3. Developing a Prophetic Consciousness
4. Doing the Mighty Works of God
5. Understanding and Declaring the Ways of God

In addition, as determined by Florida Statute 246.084, a minimum of 60 credits is required for the Associates Degree, 120 credits for the Bachelors, 24 hours beyond the Bachelors for the Masters, 60 hours beyond the Bachelors for the Doctorate, and 21 credits for a diploma.

Required courses from areas 1-4 combine to form our core courses, giving every student a primary background in theology. Area 5 has various concentrations of courses which allow the student to major in his or her chosen area of ministry. We offer nine degree areas. They are: Ministry, Christian Counseling, Theology, Christian Education, Religious Administration, Christian Music, Christian Fine Arts, Christian Media Communications, and Christian Social Work. Thus, you may earn any of the following deg rees (or a lay leadership diploma, which requires no previous diplomas or degrees) in those areas:

  • Associate in Arts (A.A.)
  • Associate in Science (A.S.)
  • Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
  • Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
  • Master of Arts (M.A.)
  • Master of Science (M.S.)
  • Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

    • MCU also awards the following honorary degrees: D.D. - Doctor of Divinity (for outstanding ministry) C.M.D. - Doctor of Christian Missions (for exemplary missions efforts) D.Evan. - Doctor of Evangelism (for outstanding evangelism efforts) S.L.D. - Doctor of Sacred Literature (for outstanding Christian writings, e.g. books) C.E.D. - Doctor of Christian Education (for an exemplary teaching ministry)

    The degree in one of the above nine areas is offered as a Lay Leadership Diploma of 21 credits, an Associates Degree of 64 credits, a Bachelors Degree of 120 credits, a Masters Degree of 24 credits beyond the Bachelors, and a Doctorate Degree of 60 credits beyond the Bachelors.
