M.A. Concentration:
M.A. candidates may develop an area of concentration in any discipline represented by the LSTC faculty. The professor or professors in a specific field determine which courses are essential for a concentration in that field and identify pertinent cognate courses. In order to develop a concentration an M.A. candidate must first complete the M.A. CONCENTRATION PETITION FORM, which must be signed by the student's academic advisor and the Director of the M.A. program. The completed form is filed in the Registrar's Office. A concentration requires six courses which may include courses taken to fulfill M.A. requirements. At least four of the courses must be electives 400 level or above. The electives may include cognate courses from other theological disciplines. However, in order to be counted toward the concentration such cognate courses require the completion of the M.A. CONCENTRATION EQUIVALENCY FORM, which is signed by the student's academic advisor and the Director of the M.A. program and filed in the Registrar's Office. The Registrar monitors the student's progress in fulfilling the concentration requirements and will record the concentration on the student transcript when all requirements have been successfully completed.
