Some of our MA graduates’ paths include advancing to doctoral study to teach at a seminary or university, teaching at the high school level, and managing nonprofit agencies and departments. Each student affiliates with a member school according to their area of concentration and the faculty resources of that school. A portion of a student’s coursework must be taken outside the school of affiliation, and committee members must include faculty from a second GTU school.

Note that the area and school of affiliation that you select at the time you apply to the program will determine your advisor, who will most likely be the core faculty person in that area at the school you select, and you may not be able to change this assignment depending on other factors.

PSR faculty are able to supervise the following concentrations for students who wish to affiliate with PSR while pursuing the Common MA: 

• Hebrew Bible/Old Testament
• New Testament
• History of Christianity

• Ethics
