Expand Your Learning Beyond One Campus

As a MAS / MBS student, your elective choices are no longer limited to our own classroom. Through the partnership between Metro Atlanta Seminary and Metro Baltimore Seminary, you can broaden your theological education by taking approved elective courses from either institution and applying the credit toward your degree.

Two seminaries. One shared mission. More opportunities to grow.

More Choices. Greater Flexibility.

Both seminaries are committed to providing a rigorous, Christ-centered theological education while remaining responsive to the interests and ministry goals of our students. Through strategic partnerships, our students enjoy greater academic breadth without sacrificing the mentoring, affordability, and personal attention that define each institution’s educational experience.

Through this academic partnership, eligible students may enroll in approved elective courses offered by either institution. Whether you’re interested in biblical studies, worship, philosophy, worldview, church history, or other specialized topics, you’ll have access to an expanded selection of courses without delaying your degree progress.
