Graduate Programs
Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)
The Master of Business Administration program is designed to prepare students for roles of leadership in business. Students’ knowledge of the major functional areas within business is reinforced while a commitment to Christian values and ethical conduct prepares students to meet the challenges of a highly competitive business environment with integrity and character. The program is a cohort-based, 40-credit hour degree delivered over approximately 18 months, divided into four semesters. Classes meet one weekend each month and continue via extensive Internet-based contact with fellow students and with faculty in the period between class sessions. The combination of weekend class meetings and distance-based components is well suited for mature, working students.
Master of Education (M.Ed.)
The Master of Education program includes both initial licensure and advanced degree options. The initial licensure degree is typically a fifteen-month professional education program that prepares teachers for the high level of competence expected by public and private educational institutions.
The M.Ed. initial licensure program is designed for students who have a baccalaureate degree with a strong general education component and one or more specialty or endorsement areas (or majors). This program consists of 45 to 47 semester hours. Available areas of licensure are essentially the same as those undergraduate education program. Candidates may finish the M.Ed. program in two summers and one academic year (i.e. fifteen months). Students may also choose to extend course work beyond the typical fifteen-month period.
Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (M.S.O.T.)
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree program promotes integration and utilization of theory and practice in the art and science of occupational therapy and prepares students to meet the entry-level standards of the American Occupational Therapy Association.
The program is designed for students who have an earned bachelor’s degree and who have completed the prerequisite requirements for admission to the program. Baccalaureate degrees can be in a variety of academic areas, some of which include human performance and exercise science, human development, sociology, biology, and psychology.
