Students enroll in the Master of Arts
programs and Master of Sacred Music program for a variety of
vocational and educational reasons. Some are looking for a new
vocation in a faith-based field, other are seeking to enhance skills
with a theological basis for work in which they are already engaged
while others are looking to prepare for further graduate study. A
master of arts degree has challenged and prepared many people to
fulfill God’s call in their life.
