Degree Programs
The aim of all degree programs at Gordon-Conwell is to equip men and women who, as committed servants of Christ, are disciplined in mind, eager to learn, and sensitive to the needs of the world. The swiftly changing currents of contemporary society and global events increase the demands made on Christians in the exercise of their ministry in the world. The school strives to educate students to think biblically and theologically in the face of global needs. Students who are ready to give God not only their hearts but also their minds and wills are invited to join with us in pursuing obedience to God.
