Notes : Master of Arts in Christian Education
1. Courses in Christian Education will be offered during the regular academic year. See Course Descriptions for courses offered.
2. Extended Learning refers to the period of time away from the VTS campus. During this time students will work on extension courses required for the degree and supervised by Christian Education faculty, or take electives.
**Six hours (equivalent to 2 semester courses) of additional electives will be required of each student. These may be earned by taking courses at VTS during the regular academic year, or by taking courses at an accredited seminary or other educational institution near home. If possible these courses should be taken in Bible or Church History. When taken at another institution these courses will meet the consortium requirement of at least one three-hour elective taken at another school in the Washington Theological Consortium.
3. Persons holding the MDiv degree or equivalent may earn the MACE degree by completing 30 hours of credit according to a predetermined program.
4. All students applying for the Master of Arts in Christian Education Degree may complete this program on a part time basis. Students may take up to seven years to complete the requirements.
