How about a Master’s Degree? We know, we know. Most of you are still trying to decide where to go to college for your basic bachelor’s degree. How can you possibly contemplate a master’s degree? But some of you already know that you won’t be satisfied with a bachelor’s. You’ll want more— more training, more know-how, more development of the gifts God has given you. That’s where MLC can be exactly the place you’re looking for.
Graduate Studies
“At MLC,” says Director of Graduate Studies John Meyer, “you can immediately get your Master of Science in Education if you want, with an emphasis in educational technology, instruction, special education, or leadership. A bachelor’s degree prepares teachers for entry into the profession. A master’s degree can help them hone their skills, turning novices to experts.”

Take senior Greg Holzhueter (MVL). He graduated in December with a bachelor’s degree in secondary (grade 5-12) math education, and he’ll start his graduate studies on campus in January 2011. Right now, he plans to accept a call in May and, because the master’s program is online, he can finish it while he’s teaching if he desires. “Taking master’s classes now will be a blessing to my ministry,” he says. “The MLC Master of Science in Education program offers me the great opportunity to get a head start on getting my master’s as I wrap up my college experience and prepare for a call.” To read more about MLC’s MS Ed program—and meet some of the students too—go to www.mlc-wels.edu/go/grad.
Far from sure: I was very hesitant to come to MLC. Did I really want to be that far away from my home, friends, and girlfriend? I found every sad excuse I could as to why I shouldn’t go to MLC. But something in me kept bringing me back. I don’t know what that was, but I’m glad the Lord put it there. My time here at MLC has been spectacular. He got schooled: A number of times my freshman year, I put off my studying or projects until the last minute. Boy, did I learn fast that you just can’t do that in college. Getting his passport: I can see myself teaching in another country. I’d like to be thrown out of the normal life in the United States and experience something entirely different. To bring God’s Word to a different country would be exhilarating.
