The Human Flourishing Concentration within the MA in Ethics, Theology, and Culture prepares students to engage thoughtfully with the complex interplay of culture, ethics, and human well-being. Rooted in a theological and interdisciplinary framework, this concentration equips students to explore questions of justice, dignity, and holistic mission in diverse ministry and organizational settings. Whether serving in churches, NGOs, or parachurch ministries, students will develop a deeper understanding of how ethical and theological principles shape human flourishing across cultural contexts.
