Program Structure
The MA in Leadership, Theology & Society is a 24-month, cohort-based program designed to enable participants to remain in their current workplace while developing their leadership abilities. The program’s 36 credit hours include:
- Eight on-campus courses, delivered through four intensive two-week residences at Regent College in Vancouver, BC;
- A 24-month Supervised Workplace Immersion, in which students will be mentored and will have an opportunity to reflect on and develop their own leadership abilities;
- A Capstone Project, in which students will apply their learning from the program to a situation in their own workplace and reflect theologically on that experience; and
- A week-long Capstone Retreat, where students will gather to share their Capstone Projects and interact with Christian leaders from a variety of sectors.
The tuition for the MALTS program comes to $25,000. The cost of the Capstone Retreat varies from year to year, usually falling within the range of $2,000 to $3,000. It includes accommodation and meals while at the retreat and a shuttle service from a designated hotel to the lodge (round trip).
