Is the master’s program online?
Yes, the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry can be a fully online, 30-hour degree. Or, choose from three 36-hour concentrations with required on-campus intensives.
In the three 36-hour concentrations, a majority of your coursework will be online.
· 80% of your coursework is personal study on your own schedule (research, writing, online discussion posts, etc.).
· 20% of your coursework is community interaction on a pre-arranged schedule (Zoom, in-person intensives, virtual seats, etc.).
Current students and applicants who have completed courses at other accredited graduate institutions may receive transfer credit for credit courses that are comparable to offerings in the Master of Arts curriculum. Transfer of credit is not automatic; it is conditional upon approval by the Academic Dean in consultation with the faculty.
Ozark Christian College is committed to full compliance with all laws regarding equal opportunity for students with disabilities. Students, the faculty, and the Academics Office all play a role in ensuring that reasonable and appropriate accommodations are provided in a timely and effective manner.
