Master of Arts in Social and Civic Entreprenuership
In today’s international, cross-cultural, pluralistic world, no professional can expect to succeed or to achieve his/her goals utilizing a mono-cultural worldview. Stated affirmatively, every professional in the 21st Century, if he/she is to be effective, must have an awareness and a sensitivity to the cultural mores and values held by other people groups. This is true both internationally and nationally. It is true at every level of human connectedness, whether within cities, communities, organizations or, increasingly, families. It is true of professionals in every area of human activity – including virtually all areas of business. Frequent cross-cultural contact is simply a reality of living in today’s world and one ignores it at great personal and professional cost.
With this in mind, BGU has fashioned an aggressive program to help educate students for business leadership in today’s globalizing world. The Master of Arts in Social and Civic Entrepreneurship (MASCE) degree is the is the first of its kind - a unique combination of business and theology. The following will explain more details about this new degree. I hope you will take a look, and contact me if you would like to know more. If the fit looks right, what a pleasure it would be to welcome you on this educational pilgrimage.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Master of Arts in Social and Civic Entrepreneurship (MASCE) is an accredited degree that equips students with the core social and civic entrepreneurial proficiencies and expertise for managers and leaders in a global environment. These leaders could be involved in for-profit (business), non-profit (NPOs or NGOs) or governmental organizations. The degree also provides students with core Christian theology in subjects related to the practice of social and civic entrepreneurship. This degree is a joint effort between the BGU School of Theology and the School of Business (also referred to as the Bakke Business School or BBS) with 15 hours of theology and contextual courses and 21 hours of entrepreneurial and business courses for a total of 36 credit hours.
The MASCE offers students with full-time employment the opportunity to advance their own knowledge and careers while completing a graduate business degree from a Christian worldview. Students will be exposed to cross-cultural, experienced, internationally-oriented faculty, case-studies, and historic and emerging trends in the various fields of substantive social and civic entrepreneurial leadership and business study. Students will also have opportunities to travel as part of their education, to see first-hand the application of these skills sets and principles in real life contexts.
