Myanmar Institute of Theology, a leading seminary in Myanmar, has been offering quality theological education since its establishment in 1927. In response to the dire need of higher quality education in the country, MIT started a liberal arts program called Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies in 2000. The objective of MIT is to equip its students with higher education – theology as well as secular – so that they will be able to actively and effectively participate in the ministry and serve their society. Measures are being taken to ensure that this objective is achieved and maintained.
