The dual MDiv/MBA Program is offered to ministers and other interested persons who desire to complement and integrate their theological education with a foundation in business administration. Students who desire to serve as pastors, associate pastors, church administrators, or staff members in larger churches or not-for-profit organizations may desire greater business management training along with theological education. Bi-vocational ministers may also benefit from the knowledge gained in this dual degree program.
Successful candidates will complete a total of 94 hours of MDiv and MBA work. The MDiv program incorporates 12 hours of MBA course work into the 78-hour MDiv degree. The Master of Business Administration incorporates up to nine (9) hours of MDiv credit into the thirty-seven (37) hour MBA program. A full-time student could expect to finish the two degrees in a minimum of four years of study. Students may complete and earn the two degrees concurrently or may extend the time required to complete the second degree.
