With an emphasis on practical and personal formation, and a solid underpinning of biblical and theological studies, this degree is designed for a variety of students. Those with pastoral experience or involvement with Christian agencies, either as staff or volunteers, can strengthen their ministry foundations and develop new skills. Others may want training to help them minister more effectively in the marketplace. Internships and other opportunities give students experience in Fresno’s diverse ethnic culture. Electives help students focus on areas of interest.
