Student Outcomes

Through this program, students who are called into pastoral ministry and who want to prepare for a lifetime of service to the church will receive...

Excellent education

Students will receive training on the tragedies and triumphs of church leadership from seasoned and respected educators currently preaching, teaching, and leading in the local church.

Affordable education

This accelerated program will reduce the cost of obtaining both degrees in succession, which is important in pastoral ministry.

Accelerated education

Traditionally, it may take six or more years to earn a bachelor's and then a master's degree. With the UPMAP, students can complete both degrees in as little as five years.

Practical education

Students' learning will be enhanced by having opportunities to receive hands on training in the real-world through ministry internships each year from various churches in the Mid-South area.

Rewarding education

Students will receive associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees with the opportunity to graduate each step of the way.

Fulfilling education

Each cohort will receive weekly guided counsel through faculty mentoring in Urban Theological Studies or Master's in Christian Studies each year; plus, due to the evening format, students will be able to attend classes with seasoned pastors.
