Academics at AMBS
A message from the dean
Our degree programs draw deeply from the witness and wisdom of the Bible, and this in turn grounds our theological studies, ethical discernment, and ministry training. The breadth of curricular offerings demonstrates a commitment to form the whole student in mind, heart, body, soul and spirit.Students work closely with their advisers to tailor a program of classes, intenrships and practica that prepares them for their future work. Some students prepare for doctoral studies; others prepare for assignments in congregations, church agencies, international development placements, hospitals, care facilities, and schools and universities. With biblical studies and Anabaptist theology at the core of our curriculum, students leave AMBS prepared to bring the Good News to any setting where they join God at work in the world.
Watch for announcements of our new Master of Divinity program that gives students the option of study in our campus learning community and in a distance program that combines online learning with brief visits to campus. Pending accreditation approval, we will offer this in fall. — Rebecca Slough
