Campbell Divinity School to Celebrate Decade with Expansion

     Campbell University Divinity School will begin its 10th year with a new position in Pastoral Care and Counseling and with a new joint Master of Divinity (M.Div.) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. These additions come at the same time that Dr. Barry Jones will be taking on his new responsibilities as Associate Dean for Academic Programs and plans are being developed for a new university chapel.
     “Our Divinity School is extremely proud of our successes in our first decade of service. Now, it is imperative for our school to prepare to render even greater service to students and churches in our second decade of existence,” says Dean Michael G. Cogdill. “New faculty, new degree programs, and new facilities are all a part of our vision for increased ministry in the future.”
     The new faculty member for pastoral care and counseling will teach in the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Education and the Doctor of Ministry degree programs. This person will also assist with supervised ministry and work closely with students preparing to serve as chaplains in a variety of contexts. The new faculty member must have experience in local Baptist church leadership and clinical pastoral care in addition to having earned a Master of Divinity degree and a Doctor of Philosophy or its equivalent degree.
     Persons interested in the pastoral care and counseling position may contact the Faculty Search Committee at Campbell University Divinity School, P.O. Drawer 4050, Buies Creek, NC 27506.
     In addition to the new faculty position, the Divinity School and the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business are moving forward with a joint Master of Divinity and Master of Business Administration degree program. It will be offered to ministers and other interested persons who desire to complement and integrate their theological education with a foundation in business administration. Students who desire to serve as pastors, associate pastors, church administrators, or other staff members in larger churches may desire greater business management training along with theological education. Bivocational ministers may also benefit from the knowledge gained in this dual degree program.
     Tuition and fees for each program will be handled by the individual school. For more information, contact Mrs. Kheresa Harmon, director of Admissions for the Divinity School at 1-800-760-9827 or harmonk@campbell.edu <mailto:harmonk@campbell.edu> or Dr. Shahriar Mostashari, director of the MBA program at 1-800-334-4111, ext. 1390 or mostashari@campbell.edu <mailto:mostashari@campbell.edu>.
     Another exciting development for the Divinity School is the planning that Campbell University is doing with an architect to design a university chapel, which will be located next door to Taylor Hall of Religion. It is expected to be the nerve center for the Divinity School and the site for Covenant and Commissioning services and other special events.
