That’s a tough question! Our majors are all taught from an uncompromisingly biblical perspective by experienced faculty and with a unique liberal arts curriculum.
But if we must rank them, our three most attended are Business, Bibleand Biology. If you break it down into specific emphasis programs: Mechanical Engineering, Pre-Medical, Accounting, Pre-Physical Therapy, Teacher Education, Biblical Counseling, Business Management, and Computer Science are some of the top attended programs.
Anywhere between 10 to 18 hours a week on all forms of out of class work (this includes assignments, studying, and projects). This also fluctuates depending on the course load.
This depends on the class and the professor you are taking, as an English class might have large writing or reading assignments, and a math class might have no writing and little reading. Certain professors also have different preferences in both areas of extra class work. However, most classes require the reading of a textbook on a per-chapter basis at least.
As these are typically required for graduating, many students are enrolled in these classes at a time. The average lower division and GE class size is somewhere between 65 and 90 students. 74% of our classes are under 20 students, and 7% of our classes are under 50.
Unlike most major universities, our professors are not only involved in research but also teach every class. The teaching assistants we do have, are used to do administrative work, help in labs, tutor, and aid the professors and students when necessary. With our 10:1 student-teacher ratio, students have direct access to our professors.
Typically the faculty-student ratio is between 1:10 and 1:12. This number does fluctuate depending on the major, generally between 5 and 25 students.
The Master’s University has a lot of subjects, majors, and events similar to other schools. However, what makes us stand out is our uncompromising commitment to Christ and Scripture. We believe that the Bible is authoritative, and that is what we teach in all classes, from science to business.
If you desire to change your major, it is simple. First, you need to meet with your academic advisor and explain your plan for switching majors. Then you would need to meet with the registrar. Both advisor and registrar must sign off that you are changing majors.
Yes, in fact, many students do this every year. Many students for many different reasons (financially, family issues, etc.) have taken off semesters in the past and are welcome to return back to school once the period of time is over.
Classes in high school that will better prepare you for success in these majors include 1 year of physics and calculus. Chemistry, biology, and other science classes like anatomy and physiology will be especially helpful for Biology majors.
Because everyone’s financial situation is different, the best way to estimate what aid you may receive at Master’s is to use the Total Cost Calculator.
Loans are funds that must be paid back with interest after graduation or the student drops below half-time in units. There are 2 types of loans: Subsidized and Unsubsidized.
Grants are financial assistance that does not need to be paid back. This can vary in types: both government and institutional grants as well as scholarships and such.
In 2019, 67% of students graduate with less than $20,000 in loan debt, compared with the national average of $29,800.
The average debt that students graduate with can vary, but it ranges in this vicinity which is the accumulation of 4 years of $5000/year in loans. When it comes to repayment, it’s roughly comparable to a car payment on a new Camry. Many students are also able to graduate with zero debt. During a time when student loan debt is as high as ever, TMU is recognized by the Department of Education for creating an environment where the burden of student loan debt repayment is much less than at almost every other campus in the country. Additionally, TMU has been recognized in LendEDU’s 2019 annual report on student loan default rates for having one of the lowest default rates not only in California but in the entire country as well. Nationwide, the default rate at Master’s University placed in the 90th percentile.
The Financial Aid Office suggests that you begin the FAFSA in October and work on all of the documents you need to turn in (you can see what you need to complete on your self-service) by March 2nd.
For specific scholarships that you are applying for there may be different deadlines for these so make sure that you read the application carefully to ensure that you submit it promptly.

For distinguished academic scholarships, we required a minimum ACT/SAT score of 19/1000 for a 4.0 GPA, sliding to a 36/1600 with a GPA of 3.0. For transfers, a minimum GPA of 3.75 is required without a test score to qualify for distinguished.
For honors academic scholarships, we required a minimum ACT/SAT score of 19/1000 for a 3.95 GPA, sliding to a 36/1600 with a GPA of 2.95. For transfers, a minimum GPA of 3.25 is required without a test score to qualify for honors.
These will update for the 2023-24 academic year to reflect the updated tuition and scholarships.
Why would a parent want to systematically and effectively un-build the biblical foundations they themselves have been building? Ask yourself,
Developing wisdom, establishing convictions, and producing leaders. That’s why it is important for homeschool students to attend a Christian university.
Typically, admissions require a GPA above a minimum range of 2.75 or above. You’ll also need an SAT, ACT, or sometimes accepted CLT score. Finally, you’ll need a high school diploma.
TMU requires personal statements and essays and a pastor’s recommendation.
You’ll also need a transcript. A homeschool transcript should include each class studied beginning in ninth grade with a letter grade assigned to each class. Use a credit system to calculate GPA. The transcript should be current through the date of applying to the university, and a final transcript must be submitted upon completion of schooling. If the transcript is produced by the parent, then a parental signature is required along with the date of signing.
In absence of a final transcript, the GED or California Proficiency Exam is accepted
For scholarships, keys to success are high test scores (ACT, SAT, or CLT ), academic achievement (AP, dual enrollment, honors), and extracurricular activities.
Juniors and seniors in high school can take accredited, college-level Bible and General Education courses on-campus or online. These classes meet high school graduation requirements and earn college credits at a reduced cost, and of course, the class credits are transferable to most colleges.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of dual enrollment is that your student may start accumulating college credits, helping him or her graduate on time or even early.
Before starting, make sure the colleges in which you are interested would accept the dual enrollment credit, and check to see that your high school doesn’t offer the same class. Also, consider the total workload before over-committing.
However, several factors exist, so we don’t publish specific minimums. We’re looking for students who have succeeded in college preparatory high school classes and have earned above-average test scores on the SAT or ACT. If a student falls below the recommended test score or grade point average, the student could still be admitted as part of our Program for Academic Support and Success (PASS).
As an incoming student, you have two options for choosing a roommate. If you are coming to TMU and you know someone who is already a student or who will be starting the same semester as you, there is a possibility that they could be your roommate! After you have finished applying, been accepted, and sent in your deposit for the year, you can go on to pre-registration. On pre-registration, there is an option for requesting a roommate. We can’t make any promises, but if you and your friend put each other’s names down during pre-registration, you’ll likely be put together. And hey, lots of our students come and don’t know anyone, so your second option is random rooming. This works out great for lots of our students, and sometimes you even meet your BFF for life!
