MJA DEGREE OUTLINE

Fuller’s MA in Justice and Advocacy (MJA) provides a formational education for those enacting God’s call to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God” in their vocational contexts. Marked by Fuller’s distinctive integration of theology, psychology, and missiology, the MJA equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the pursuit of God’s justice as an integral part of God’s mission in the world, equipping them for impactful leadership in justice and advocacy work in diverse settings.
