About the Degree

The Master of Science in Administration is a post-graduate degree which was developed by major universities in the 1970s. Its core purpose is to prepare the graduates for leadership positions in a wide range of government and non-profit institutions. The Atlantic Coast Master of Science in Christian Administration core purpose is to prepare students for leadership positions in both Kingdom-related ministries, institutions, and organizations requiring trained leadership.

The curriculum is designed to empower the students to cultivate their God given potential and talents, and to gain mastery of the knowledge, skills and 21st-Century techniques required for effective leadership in the religious and global community.

The MBA-style course mix, pulled thru a biblical grid, provides the students with a balance which will prepare them to confront the leadership, management, strategy and planning challenges in current and future religious and secular organizations.

“Since my undergraduate degree is in accounting and finance, the M.Sc. degree builds on this and gives me a practical view of the ministry. The courses in this program have caused me to go beyond some of my thinking during my years of preaching and teaching. I believe that my preaching has been changed for the better because of these studies. The faculty of ACS has been extremely great to work with, and the comments that come back with the grades are very helpful. I highly recommend this school.”

– Pastor Alfred Daniell
