MA in Religion

July 9, 2021 /

Join the MA program, starting autumn 2022!

MA in Religion (Andrews University) provides a solid foundation in biblical knowledge and theological disciplines, critical thinking, and research abilities, enabling one to pursue interdisciplinary collaboration in research and learning with non-theological disciplines. It provides pastors, teachers, and administrators with a thorough understanding of Adventist history, beliefs, and practices, and the ability to think critically and collaboratively in matters of religion. This interdisciplinary program has been offered by Andrews University for many years in places like Hong Kong, Poland, Romania, Russia, Taiwan, and Ukraine. And for the first time, Baltic Union students will have an opportunity join the cohort of students in Poland.

Intensives: 2×2 weeks a year in Podkowa Lesna (Poland) at their SDA seminary.

Duration: 4 years.

Group size: 12 to 30 students.
