Master of Ministry
Christian Counseling
Program Overview
The Master of Ministry in Christian Counseling is a thirty-six (36) semester hour program that blends Bible and theological training from ATS and Christian counseling courses from the National Christian Counselors Association. Upon completion of the program the student earns both a Master of Ministry degree from ATS and faith-based licensure from the NCCA. (Faith-based licensure is not state licensure). The program has a two-year time limit, though students may extend for an additional year for a small fee if additional time is needed.
