Student Experience

The Master of Global Engagement degree program has been an incredibly enriching experience for me that has shaped my understanding of missions and ministry on both an academic and personal level. It has been a privilege to study under professors who bring a wealth of experience and passion for the field, which I believe has inspired many cohorts of students to live for God’s Kingdom in radical ways locally and abroad.
