Graduate

Multnomah offers four college graduate degrees: MA in Teaching (MAT), MA in TESOL, MA in Global Development and Justice, and MA in Counseling (MAC). Each graduate applicant fills out the standard application and submits additional required application information pertinent to the degree.

As a standard each program requires two references, a completed interview form, and official transcripts from the degree granting institution unless the applicant has taken graduate courses from another institution and/or if they have completed some Bible/theology at another college.
