Overview

The Biblical Counseling program at The Master’s University is conscientiously and comprehensively Christ-centered. It focuses on who Christ is and what He has done for us in His life, death, resurrection, and in sending the Holy Spirit.

Christ-centered counseling also focuses on what He is doing for us right now in His intercession at the Father’s right hand and what He will do for us in the future. In biblical counseling, the Christ of the Bible is not an appendage or an “add on” for living in the fast lane. Rather, He is the center and the circumference (and everywhere in between) of counseling. Christ-centered counseling involves understanding the nature and causes of our human difficulties.

Key Features

The program can be completed in two to four years, but the length of time a student takes to complete it may depend on the student’s own schedule and external commitments, as well as course offerings that are dependent on minimum enrollment, instructor availability, and the program’s semester schedule.
Distance students may attend classes during summer semesters as part of the Summer Institute Program (SIP).
