The MA/CS purposes to provide a basic understanding of Christianity for general educational purposes. Trinity’s MA/CS program draws from the breadth of the curriculum requiring substantive study in biblical, theological, and historical and global areas, combined with a significant number of hours in the student’s area of interest. The program is particularly suited for Christians desiring to better understand God’s revelation to humanity in the biblical and theological context of orthodox historic Christianity and who are engaged in nonchurch-related vocations or for those seeking a general theological degree to accompany a specialized master’s degree. As a seminary degree, its particular concern is to relate Christian studies to the work of the church. Program participants may also elect to focus their elective course work, capstone project, and field education course work on a particular subject area available in the curriculum or at their particular site.
