Assessment, affirmation, and discernment are integral to the development of strong educational leaders. Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary is committed to walk with students through their seminary career and to provide these supports.

After 15 units of course work, students in the Educational Leadership Program (MA Theology, MA Old Testament, or MA New Testament) are required to meet with their academic advisor and one other faculty member of their choice. The aim of the meeting is to assess their academic progress, to discern suitable practical placements, to decide on thesis or senior seminar path, and to discuss possible vocational outcomes.
