Join admissions counselor Valerie Acosta and get an inside look at TMU’s campus. Explore our campus, learn about our unique history, and see what #lifeattmu is all about.
Students come to The Master’s University to explore the unique ways in which God has gifted and equipped them. But while they have different goals and interests, our student body remains united in its desire to honor Christ and to subject all things to His unchanging Word. It’s this commitment to Christ and Scripture that defines TMU, an accredited Christian liberal arts university in Santa Clarita, California. The school offers more than 150 undergraduate, graduate and online programs, all taught from a biblical worldview. Under the leadership of President Abner Chou and Chancellor John MacArthur, TMU’s mission is to prepare men and women for lives of enduring commitment to Christ, biblical fidelity, moral integrity, intellectual growth and lasting contribution to the Kingdom of God worldwide.
There’s always something happening at TMU. Join a club, play an intramural sport, be a part of a theatre production, attend campus-wide events, and so much more!
Dr. Abner Chou, interim president of The Master’s University, wants to remind us that the decisions we make about higher education are far from neutral. Everything that we do is to be done under the Lordship of Christ, and our choices about where to go for college isn’t an exception.
The liberal arts are more important than ever. In an increasingly anti-Christian society, they give us the discernment to stay true to Christ. The Master’s University offers over 70 emphases across 13 departments including over 500 course offerings.

Standing firm on Christ & Scripture since 1927, The Master’s University has developed one of the most influential Biblical Studies programs anywhere in the United States. We hold the Word of God as sufficient in all things, including its own interpretation. To best equip our students for their intended fields, ministry or otherwise, we teach them how to approach the Word: through Greek and Hebrew, the context in which it was written, along with a large selection of classes ranging from Biblical Counseling to the book of Revelation.
At TMU, students in the School of Science, Mathematics, Technology and Health, are equipped to be an exemplary testimony for Christ in any discipline and career. This means our graduates – from health-technologists to oil and mining scientists – are best prepared to go onto the next step in their field, and defend their faith as an equipped and intellectual worker while breaking new ground.
The Master’s University’s School of Business ranks among the best business programs in the country. With every class – whether graduate, undergraduate, on campus or online- taught through a biblical lens, our graduates are well positioned to excel, thrive and advance professionally. Our faculty is committed to the educational, professional, and personal success of each student.
Our School of Education aims to prepare students to “equip and empower effective educators.” We offer a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, a Teaching Credential and a Master of Education online.
Our students are taught engineering from the standpoint of Christ and Scripture, with hands-on labs that expose them to the latest hardware and technology. From basic circuits to artificial intelligence, tech is studied with the goal of deep understanding as well as ethical and spiritual maturity. We want students to be technically sophisticated not only so that they find gainful and satisfactory employment upon graduation, but so that they benefit and advance their communities, their fellow man, and the world.
