Program One [60 semester hours] - for college or university graduates with no previous studies in Bible or theology. Program one students can complete the MA Muslim Studies program in 40 months. Students would need to complete 15 one week intensives to meet residence requirements (four week intensives a year, two in summer two in winter).
Program Two [30 semester hours] - "fast-track" for those who have at least 30 semester hours of college credit in Bible, theology or church history. Program two students can complete the MA Muslim Studies in as little as one year. Students would need to complete 5 one week intensives to meet residence requirements (three in the summer two in winter).
