    I need to get an MA in religion/christian studies/bible . . . an opportunity has come up and I may need to get an MA quickly.

    I need a school that has a generous transfer policy as I have 45+ Grad credits in Bible/religion/Christian studies. I know both Greek and Hebrew.

    Order of Importance:
    1. RA and Online
    2. Transfer of Credits - I want to take as few classes as possible.
    3. Capstone Project (Prefer not a thesis)
    4. Cost

    Campusbellsville offers a Master of Theology 30-credit degree which they say can be completed in 18 months and they allow up to 15 credits in transfer, so if they accepted 15 credits from you, it'd likely take less time than that. Tuition is relatively reasonable at $295/credit + $100 tech fee per course:
    Find Your Calling at Campbellsville University

    Liberty offers various 36-credit MA programs at $265/credit or less, but only allow 6 credits transferred in, ex:
    MA in Christian Leadership | Liberty University Online

    Both are RA.

    I doubt you will find a masters degree program that will accept more than 15 semester units in transfer.
    Here is my suggestion:
    · Apply 30 units to a second BA in Religion from TESC http://www.tesc.edu/3761.php
    · Apply the remaining 15 units to a masters degree (other posters have knowledge of such degrees) – if you can’t find one in religion how about the TESC MALS with a LDAS in religion Thomas Edison State College | Master of Arts in Liberal Studies

    I need a Master level degree, I already have a BA in religion and a 2nd in Social Studies Education.

    IS TESC a RA program?
