This program is designed to satisfy the needs of pastors, teachers and directors of Christian education who wish to improve their proficiency in the area of parish education.
Courses in education, psychology and theology are included in this program. No state teacher certification is offered with this degree.
Concordia Nebraska has the largest DCE program in the LCMS and we have been focusing on parish religious education since the 1960s. Our Master in Parish Education program builds on these strengths." -- Dr. Mark Blanke
PROGRAM OPTIONS
NOTE: A directed self-study option is available to students who have been admitted to candidacy in the parish education program. Courses designed under this option are completed through self-study and conferences with the instructor rather than in a classroom setting. The maximum number of hours to be completed in this way is 12, and any hours accepted from other institutions for graduate work will reduce this number in an equivalent amount. The Dean of Education must approve the request for courses using this delivery system. Courses which can be completed by directed self-study are noted below.
Any courses previously completed on the undergraduate level must be replaced with supporting courses.
