Western prepares you for real-world ministry. And with a student-to-professor ratio of 15.5 to 1, you can count on individual attention.
Master of Arts Degree for Young Life Staff
Young Life staff can bank credits they’ve already earned from YL courses toward a Master of Arts Degree or a Graduate Certificate in Disability and Ministry.
Courses
Western’s curriculum is centered around the Bible. Built upon that foundation, we offer courses in theology, ethics, pastoral care and counseling, preaching, worship, the history and traditions of the church, and more.
Distinguished Faculty
Western faculty are widely published and academically distinguished, with doctoral degrees from the likes of Duke, Harvard, and Princeton. As importantly, our professors are deeply involved in congregational ministry – and several offer the unique perspectives of having served as pastors.
