WCU Cooper School launches master’s in Christian theology

The Cooper School of Missions and Ministry Studies at William Carey University announces a new master’s degree program in Christian theology.

“This degree equips graduates to teach on the mission field, in local churches, and at colleges or universities. Graduates are also prepared to write in the field of theology,” said Dr. Brett Golson, vice president of Spiritual Development and Church Relations and dean of the Cooper School.

Christian theology is the first master’s degree ever offered by the Cooper School.

“This new degree further strengthens the university’s commitment to prepare students to become leaders in our communities and nation,” said WCU President Dr. Tommy King.

Students have the option to choose a thesis or non-thesis track. This is an online degree program that can be completed over five consecutive trimesters (14 months, non-thesis track).

Dr. Chaz Rowland is one of six people who will teach Christian theology classes.

“This is truly a ground-breaking degree at a ground-breaking institution that I am proud to be a part of. Never has the church had such a desperate need to develop a robust theology grounded in the Bible and history,” Rowland said.

Courses include biblical, systematic, historical, philosophical, and practical theology. Students will also complete four reading colloquia, including theology of the early church and patristic period, medieval theology, theology of the Renaissance and Reformation, and theology from the modern period.

WCU expects to launch the first class in June 2021, contingent upon approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
