The program is flex pacing. which means you complete the courses as you have time rather than in traditional semester formats. Students pay a subscription fee each semester to access the learning management system. Once a course is completed, credits are granted. Once all coursework in a certificate area is completed, a certificate is granted. When four certificates are completed, the Masters is granted.
To enroll in the MACM (CBE), you must be involved in one of our partner congregations. The degree is only available through partnerships. To learn more, please contact the director of the competency-based program.
