MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE IN CHURCH MUSIC (MACM)
Midwestern offers the Master of Arts in Church Music (MACM) degree with a primary focus on the preparation of the minister of music for service in local church settings. The MACM enables the student to gain proficiency in the development of music skills within the context of an understanding of the total mission and ministry of the church.
This degree is designed to be a two-year program for full time students who meet the appropriate entrance requirements. A bachelor's degree in music is a prerequisite. However, students with non-music bachelor's degrees may also enter the program by completing a series of pre-mastered music courses, or by successfully completing a series of placement examinations.
