The University of Mobile (UMobile) is enrolling adult students for a new fully online degree program, the bachelor of science in marketplace ministry.
Classes open Jan. 19 for the program, which marks the entry into online college degrees offered by the Baptist university founded in 1961 in Mobile.
New students may enroll at various times throughout the year, since classes are offered in a flexible eight-week format designed to meet the scheduling needs of working adults, according to Danny Chancey, director of adult and professional studies. He said the program is for those age 23 and older who are starting or continuing a college degree.
“We have 22 years of experience in adult education, and that is a great benefit as we expand our program to offer more online degrees that are flexible, affordable and faith-based,” Chancey said.
Courses in ministry
The new degree includes courses in ministry, leadership and counseling. It prepares graduates for Christian leadership in ministry, social and secular work, faith-based and nonprofit organizations, and careers as a church pastor, urban ministry leader, and corporate or industry chaplain, Chancey said.
“For many adults earning a college degree may open doors to advancing at their place of employment or in changing careers,” Chancey said.
UMobile also offers on-campus bachelor degree programs for adults including the bachelor of business administration, bachelor of science in leadership and cultural studies, bachelor of science in elementary or early childhood education and the RN to BSN program for registered nurses working toward a bachelor of science in nursing.
