In 1988, Dr. Doug McLachlan had a burden to see men further equipped
for ministry after they completed their college training. Working
closely with Dr. Les Ollila and Northland's Bible Department, Dr.
McLachlan began the Master of Ministry and Doctorate Ministry program
to help pastors sharpen their ministry tools. Offered three times a
year, these seminars continue to offer men in ministry a chance to
study relevant issues facing them today.
In 2003, the Master of Arts degrees were instituted to provide academic
degrees for graduate students who want to further expand their
practical and theological knowledge and/or prepare for seminary.
In 2009, Dr. John F. Klem joined Northland International University as Dean of Northland Graduate School.
