Summer Institute

THE PROGRAM

We are delighted to provide a graduate opportunity in the field of higher education that is committed to academic rigor and undergirded by a Christian perspective. Our 36-credit program provides solid theoretical and professional foundations while offering substantial flexibility to professionals.

The Summer Institute program was specifically designed for professionals who wish to earn a master’s degree without having to leave their current settings permanently or attend classes two or three nights per week. Students who enroll in this option in 2023 can complete their graduate degree by participating in our Online Institute classes during the 2023-2024 Academic year, and then by attending one week of Summer Institute June 11-17, 2023 The program can be completed in two years by registering for six courses (18 credits) each year. Students may also opt to complete the program in a longer period of time by taking fewer classes each semester.

The Summer Institute Model requires 30 core credits and six elective credits to complete the program.

In addition to classes, the Summer Institute provides many opportunities for informal conversations and for recreation. The MAHE program also provides several meals each week to encourage a collegial atmosphere and to help defray costs.

Ultimately, the goal of the Master of Arts in Higher Education program is to prepare thoughtful Christian practitioners who have a heart for pursuing God’s call in a college or university setting.
