Requirements

Successful completion of the MAST+ Program means having completed all of the following offerings to the best of their ability:

  1. Attendance at all offered retreats
  2. Regular attendance at “MAST+ Lunch” sessions
  3. Attendance of Christmas, Eastertide Dinner, and MAST+ Symposium
  4. Regular attendance at any Workshop / Guest Speaker Events
  5. Completing a total of 4 Devotionals, 2 Blogs, and 2 Articles
  6. MAST+ Art & Theology Journal Submission and Symposium Presentation
  7. Reading any materials recommended for the group
  8. Leading through one chapel service

Each piece outlined as part of the program requirements is an opportunity to integrate a student’s interest with broader theological reflection and the needs of the church today. As such, participation is vital to the success of MAST+. Invitation to the second year of MAST+ does necessitate the completion of the first-year requirements. Failure to complete the first-year program requirements will result in the withdrawal of your MAST+ offering.

In the MAST+ program, completion of all year-one requirements ensure students receive a $1,500.00 award and are invited to participate in year-two. The year-two award is given at the end of the program and may include additional end-of-program awarding.
