Most people think compartmentally and classrooms tend to encourage that thinking, so the idea is to get people to integrate their understanding of specific subjects or topics into the larger picture. While integrated with missiological insights, the core of a seminary education is retained and amplified to impart basic skills and knowledge foundational to an M.Div. 2. High Academic Standards. This M.A. incorporates top educators from several institutions, provides weekly personal supervision under a mentor, and includes a variety of mechanisms for verifying the student's understanding of the material covered. Where multiple students share a mentor, direct peer interaction is possible.
Credit is available for attendance at meetings of scholarly societies.
