MCM  Mission

    The mission emphasis of the MCM degree is laying the foundation for continued work in a
    doctoral program. Students are expected to expand their musical skills and continued
    development of ministry knowledge. The program is specifically designed for inspirational
    and professional leadership in the Church. This includes music for Evangelism and
    Outreaches. The curriculum stresses a combination of practical study and application of all
    areas of music ministry. It has independent study for advanced study in specialized areas.
