MATL - Description
It is said that leadership is among the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth. For the church of the 21st century, developing emerging leaders is a vital task. Bethel Seminary's Master of Arts in Transformational Leadership prepares men and women for leadership in ministry. Non-resident students currently serving in professional ministry can complete degree requirements through a distributed learning format with a blend of distance courses, local on-site mentored leadership courses, and on-campus intensives taught at Bethel. The 24-course sequence is completed in approximately 36 months.

Under the heading, "Quarter and Intensive Schedule," select an Academic Year. See "MATL (new start)" on the Quarter & Intensive Schedule for new start dates.)
A hallmark of the Master of Arts in Transformational Leadership is the integration of classroom learning, peer interaction within a student cohort group, and practical application in the day-to-day supervised ministry context of the student. The program comprises 12 courses focused on biblical and theological foundations including hermeneutics, Old and New Testament, systematic theology, and church history, and 12 courses focused on transformational leadership. The program's professional emphasis focuses on principles of transformational leadership, team leadership, leadership communication, and mentored leadership development.
