MA Ethics, Theology and Culture

The pace of cultural change in an increasingly globalized world is a source of optimism for some and anxiety for others. The need has never been greater for wise Christian engagement that is both prepared for the challenges of intercultural ministry and equipped to offer biblically based moral analysis and guidance to pressing ethical issues. This program provides interdisciplinary study in the areas of: 1) ethics with specialization in bioethics, 2) intercultural studies applied to global and Western contexts, and 3) human flourishing that integrates studies in ethics, social sciences, public health, and holistic mission. Students develop knowledge and practice of ethical and cross-cultural engagement within their area of concentration preparing for a range of service in non-profit and mission organizations, healthcare, advocacy, and the local church. The program is designed for both busy professionals who will continue their professional responsibilities and for those seeking a graduate degree full time. The program may be completed in residence or remotely.
