I have two Master's degrees. Usually Master's degrees can be described in a word: it's theology, or chemistry, or business. Mine are hard to describe. The first of them, I obtained through the Department of Systematic Theology at SATS. It was inter-disciplinary: leadership and linguistics. The second I obtained through the Department of Inter-Cultural Studies at Fuller. It, too, was inter-disciplinary: theology and leadership. Leadership, however, included such subjects as philosophy, mentoring, business studies, history, anthropology, and education. Therefore when people ask me what I studied, it may be all or any of the above. OBSERVATION: I cut short an earlier Master's degree at the (now) STH. That was a classical theological education. The point of this post is: I'm glad that I had the inter-disciplinary training. This route was recommended to me by a local professor, who kindly took time out to advise me over coffee. I feel that it's more useful to have a sense for everything than for something. In our day, if you have a feel for everything, you can use the Web to zoom in quickly on something.
