The Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership (MAML) is designed for persons preparing for Christian ministry, with a particular view towards persons who wish to minister in cross-cultural or multicultural environments. The program is suitable for persons seeking academic preparation for service as missionaries, cross-cultural workers, pastors, teachers, and researchers.

The MAML has two tracks. The Missions/ICS Emphasis track has a core of missions and ICS courses, coupled with a Bible & theology core, as well as courses in leadership or practical ministry skills which complement the direct missions/ICS courses.

The MAML also offers a Ministry & Leadership Track, with the same Bible & theology core, and then relatively more courses in leadership and practical ministry skills. The MAML program requires a minimum of 40 semester credits, which may be completed in two academic years. As many as ten semester units of graduate work (25% of the program) may be transferred in from another school.
