Academics

Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary prepares students for church leadership as pastors, missionaries, preachers, teachers, evangelists, and other leaders. When you look at academics at AMBS, consider first our areas of study: pastoral ministry, pastoral care and counseling, peace and justice studies, and much more.

The Bible is the core of the curriculum, and at AMBS we explore the Scriptures from the perspective of the Anabaptist-Mennonite faith which takes daily discipleship seriously. This core is enhanced with additional emphases in missional leadership, spirituality, peace and justice, church history,  theology and ethics, Christian education, and practical skills of ministry. 

Another way of looking at AMBS academics is to consider degree programs. We offer four graduate degrees:

• Master of Divinity
• Master of Arts: Peace Studies
• Master of Arts: Theological Studies
• Master of Arts in Christian Formation.

Each has concentrations within the degree so you can pursue specific interests.

In addition, two dual-degree programs are offered with Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Mich. AMBS also offers several specific certificate programs with the equivalent of one year of study.
