Â鶹BÓ°Ôº - Master's Degree /academics/programs/masters-degree The purpose of the Â鶹BÓ°Ôº master’s program is to provide students with an deeper level of learning without losing a zeal for practical ministry. The curriculum places a greater burden on the student to research the subject matter so as to better equip him for the ministry. Classes will meet weekly whether online or on campus. If you are taking this course on campus, the tuition and room and board costs will be identical to the cost of the undergraduate program for the normal load of 12–18 hours. The same fees will apply to this program, and books must be purchased separately. If you are taking these courses online, then you will pay the $210 per credit hour as well as a technology fee. An undergraduate degree from an approved college is a prerequisite for entrance into this program. To enroll in this program, an application must be submitted to the Admissions office. Students who are seniors at Â鶹BÓ°Ôº in the undergraduate program may begin to work on their Master’s degree during their senior year if their schedule permits, and they are approved by the Administration. Candidates for each master’s program must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in order to fulfill the requirement for graduation. en Counseling Practicum /academics/courses/counseling-practicum <h1>Counseling Practicum</h1><p>The counseling practicum functions as the capstone course for the counseling concentration.
