El Máster en Artes Liberales Cristianas (MCLA)

The Master of Christian Liberal Arts degree program is designed to academically and spiritually help the scholar develop vision through knowledge of Biblical truth and provide additional effective tools for the scholar to advance the cause of Christ in society.
