There are two (2) levels of study available in our Graduate Program of Studies, Master’s and Doctorate. Many factors influence a graduate program. The student’s previous education (theological or secular), ministry experience, their ministry ambitions, and their educational goals, and personal interest all have bearing on the courses which are assigned. Hence, there is no standard program for graduate degrees. However there are entrance requirements as well as some course requirements. The student however has some freedom in fulfilling the hours required from the General elective courses. All Graduate Degrees are earned through Kairos School of Theology.
Masters Degree
