The Master of Arts in Global Leadership (MAGL) degree seeks to enhance the development of leaders who are ministering in diverse situations in an increasingly globalized world.  Towards this end, the MAGL is designed so that the student remains in their ministry context for the duration of the program.  The MAGL also utilizes a cohort model, creating a learning community in which to wrestle with the issues of mission, spiritual leadership, and the ministry of making disciples.

The MAGL requires the successful completion of 72 quarter units, and a typical class constitutes 4 units. 36 of these units are taken with a cohort group through online classes and two intensives on the Pasadena campus. The remaining 36 units may be taken in any combination of online, individualized distance learning, Pasadena, and extension campus courses.

Notes:

1. Applicants to the MAGL program must have at least four years of ministry experience, be actively engaged in a leadership role, and have the endorsement of the leadership of the ministry in which they are working.
2. For specific admissions requirements and curriculum information, including information on transfer credit, please contact the Distance Learning office or click here.
3. Concentrations for the ministry focus studies are available in anthropology, church growth/planting, communication, general missiology, Islamic studies, Judaic studies, leadership, modern/postmodern culture, spiritual dynamics in mission, theology of mission, and urban mission.  Students may also create their own concentration in consultation with Academic Advising.
