Courses with substantial memorization(notably languages, church history, psychological disorders and Bible content) require more time.When planning schedules for work and ministry, students must factor in their study loads. These loadsmay require that the student reduce course units to maintain godly priorities.Students in MAC internships experience a particularly heavy load.
