What makes Messiah University's graduate programs unique?
Our faith-based and academic distinction
Messiah University’s reputation as a nationally ranked, accredited University that successfully integrates top-tier academics and Christian faith uniquely positions our graduate programs. Our curriculum and coursework are instantly relevant to your area of study and career.
A convenient combination of online and classroom learning
With the exception of our occupational and physical therapy programs, Messiah’s graduate coursework is conducted primarily online. Some programs are fully online while others combine online courses with optional hybrid courses and a few one-week on-campus sessions. Created with working professionals in mind, our programs help you balance your studies, career, family and personal life. Many of Messiah’s graduate programs can be completed in as little as two years. Plus, we keep class sizes small so that you can build meaningful relationships with your classmates and professors.
