Youth and Family Ministry (BS) + MS in Organizational Development Dual-Level Program

Why Youth and Family Ministry (BS) + MS in Organizational Development?

A Youth and Family Ministry degree gives you a deep knowledge of the Bible and church leadership with a particular focus on ministry to young people and their families. Additionally, an MS in Organizational Development equips you with resources and training to collaborate with diverse groups of people, create a productive work environment, and promote positive change so you can help for-profit and nonprofit businesses expand their reach and operate at their maximum potential.

How it Works:

This program condenses six years of study (four-year bachelor’s + two-year master’s) into just five years by starting master-level courses as early as your junior year. By completing both degrees together, you will also continue to receive your undergraduate scholarships and financial aid for all five years of study, which will save you thousands of dollars.
