Program Overview

Program Description:

The Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS) program introduces students to the classical theological disciplines: biblical studies, history, and doctrine. Students can tailor the program to their academic and career interests through their choice of electives.

The MATS program provides a theological foundation for those serving in non-ordained, leadership roles in the church. The program can be designed to meet the theological requirements for lay ministry orders, such as the Lutheran Associates in Ministry (AIM) program. For those seeking a career in teaching in theological areas, the degree will be foundational for advanced academic work.
