Master of Arts
Apologetics

The Master of Arts in Apologetics, offered in conjunction with the Apologetics Resource Center (ARC), is designed to prepare Christians academically and practically for proclaiming and defending the historic doctrines of the Christian faith. Through a careful study of the Scriptures, theology, philosophy, and contemporary culture, students will gain knowledge and skill to answer challenges to the Christian faith with intelligence and love. The education provided by this program will enable the student to impact the unbelieving world with the truth-claims of Christianity.

This degree is useful for anyone who plans to engage the culture with a relevant apologetic in their everyday lives, as well as for students who plan to do further studies in apologetics or philosophy.
