The deadline for this transfer request is March 1. Students who transfer into the<br />
dual-degree program after matriculation at <strong>Princeton</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> may not receive<br />

Master of Arts Program<br />
The two-year program for the Master of Arts in the area of Christian education<br />
includes basic studies in Bible, theology, church history, and practical theology.<br />
During the second year of study, students choose either a Christian education or<br />
youth ministry emphasis. The program emphasizes theory and practice for the<br />
educational ministry of the church and it also attends to philosophical, cultural,<br />
developmental, and procedural dimensions of discipleship formation. The M.A. is<br />
designed to prepare students for Christian religious education or youth ministry<br />
in parish and institutional settings; to provide training for teaching the Christian<br />
religion in church or secular schools; and to afford an opportunity for specialized<br />
preparation for youth ministry. It is not a degree earned as preparation for doctoral<br />
studies, and only under special circumstances should it be viewed as preparation<br />
for teaching in higher education.<br />
