部 & 领导
教会内的领袖 & 部领导部 communicate to students four main benefits of the 4+1 program:
- 它可以节省时间. Taking an undergraduate program then a graduate program afterward will typically take six years. 4+1计划 allows a student to potentially save an entire year of studies.
- 它可以省钱. By reducing the total number of courses taken, the student also saves money. Because graduate tuition is charged per credit (not as a block as in undergraduate), 学分越少，学费就越少.
- 它可以帮助学生脱颖而出. An advanced degree may give an applicant an advant年龄 when applying for jobs. 例如, 在职教部, an earned master’s degree is considered a higher level of qualification than a bachelor’s degree by itself.
- It provides choices to fit a student’s unique ministry goals. One of the unique advant年龄s of the 4+1 programs as they are designed for seminary degrees (MAM 和 MABS) is that students have choices. 例如, an LBC | Capital student could choose from the following undergraduate degrees: Children & Family 部, Intercultural Studies, Pastoral 部, Women in 部门的领导 or Youth & 青年事工 和 从MAM或MABS中选择. Within the MAM, they could additionally choose a concentration in Formational Children & Family 部, 领导 Studies or Pastoral Studies. 在MABS中, they could add on a concentration in Biblical Exposition, 基督教护教学或神学.
All told, that’s approximately 30 different combinations. 学生s should also keep in mind that 4+1 programs are not automatic. 学生s must apply 和 maintain a certain academic st和ard to both be accepted 和 to continue.
