| Description | The M.A. in Transformational Urban Leadership (MATUL) at William Carey International University is an online academic degree aimed to prepare leaders among the 1.4 billion people in urban slums with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to catalyze transformational religious and social movements. Through a unique combination of online conceptual learning and mentored fieldwork among these marginalized urban poor, this program trains entrepreneurial leaders in the multiplication of indigenous spiritual movements and social movements (e.g., schools, health clinics, churches, advocacy initiatives) that bring hope, spiritual liberation, family transformation, new educational opportunities, meaningful jobs, and advocacy for just housing and land rights. In this 36-42 credit program, students are mentored by senior leaders of urban poor movements in church growth, develop an urban spirituality, and complete supervised service-learning in a variety of community development fields, such as community health, small business development, slum education, housing or land rights advocacy, and solidarity with the marginalized. |
