Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies
Due to inclement weather and hazardous travel conditions, the school will be closed on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
The Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies (MAIS) degree at AGTS is a missions-focused program designed to provide students with learning experiences that deepen their knowledge of God’s mission in the earth. Students will sharpen their skills in biblical and cultural exegesis. The program also offers learning experiences that holistically inform and transform intercultural leadership. The AGTS MAIS thus provides the biblical and practical competencies needed for ministry in an increasingly complex and pluralistic world.
The MAIS degree requires 48 credits of study. The MAIS can be completed by any student regardless of the field of their undergraduate degree. Students with a strong undergraduate background in religion who have successfully completed introductory courses in Bible, Theology, and Ministry may receive advanced standing up to 9 credit hours in their programs. No more than 24 credits can be transferred into the MAIS program. There is a 10-year time limit on program completion, including transfer credit. See
AGTS Catalog
for more information.
The competencies and skills acquired in this program serve any ministry that engages people from multiple cultures or socio-economic levels including missionaries, church planters, pastors, church executives, chaplains, educators and evangelists.
