As the end of the academic year approaches, Starr King School for the Ministry is thrilled to celebrate 20 years of our Master of Arts in Social Change (MASC) program. Launched in August 2005, MASC is one of the first of its kind in the world. Starr King was among the first institutions of higher learning to formalize a counter-oppressive pedagogical focus in the form of a master’s degree.
The MASC program aims to foster students’ personal growth, spiritual practice, and deepened commitment to justice making. Degree programs are individually designed to integrate spiritual practice and professional development in response to the particular interests and gifts of the student. MASC emphasizes not only theological knowledge but also practical experience in honing the transformational leadership skills students will need to excel in their vocational path. Graduates of the program leave prepared for spiritually-grounded leadership in organizations, institutions, movements, and communities that work for justice and social change.
We’re kicking off the celebration this Thursday, April 10 at our MASC Graduate Roundtable. This free webinar begins at 5:30 pm PT/8:30 pm ET. No registration is required. Learn more.
Stay tuned for more MASC news and events coming soon!
