The Master of Arts in Global Leadership (MAGL) brings together in-service Christian leaders from around the world. These leaders join a cohort, or community of learning, in which they teach, learn from, and sharpen one another as they are guided by their professors and TAs. The MAGL is designed to help students develop critical thinking skills, initiative, and resourcefulness. More than this, our central concern is for the formation of Christian leaders. It is our prayer that, as a result of completing this course of study, students will be better equipped to participate in the mission of God in the world as Christian leaders.

The Master of Arts in Global Leadership (MAGL) brings together in-service Christian leaders from around the world. These leaders join a cohort, or community of learning, in which they teach, learn from, and sharpen one another as they are guided by their professors and TAs.

The MAGL operates out of a conviction that, just as belief and practice ought not to be separated; neither should theological reflection and missional engagement. In bringing together globally diverse communities of learning, our mission is to come alongside and equip in-service leaders from all parts of the world with transformational graduate education for leadership in their contexts. Our vision is to see more and better missional leaders committed to lifelong learning and biblically-informed communities of practice.

The MAGL allows people in Christian leadership to stay fully engaged in their ministries while studying primarily online. You will have opportunity to put your learning into practice immediately! The first ten courses are taken together in a cohort during the first two years of the program – six courses online and four during two, two-week intensives, the first in Colorado Springs, and the second in Pasadena. You may choose to take the remaining eight courses of the program online, although coursework may be also done at the Pasadena or Fuller extension campuses or up to a maximum of four Individualized Distance Learning courses.
