The Advancement of The Master’s University
The Master’s University welcomed another record-setting class of incoming students to its Newhall, California, campus last fall.
In all, 443 new students enrolled at TMU for the fall 2022 semester. The incoming class pushed TMU’s overall on-campus population to 1,146. This represented a 32% increase from the school’s enrollment in 2018, with net increases to nearly every major the school offers.
The incoming class included students from 33 states and 24 countries. Including record support from generous donors, TMU students received nearly $16 million in institutional aid, with 99% of students receiving some form of financial assistance.
In 2022, TMU added degrees in mechanical engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, sport management, interdisciplinary studies, and entrepreneurial studies. In previous years, the school also added marketing media and classical liberal arts. Overall, TMU offers more than 150 undergraduate, graduate, online, and dual enrollment programs.
TMU owes the new degrees listed above to the kindness of the Lord through the faithful support of the John MacArthur Charitable Trust, which partners with its family of ministries to invest in areas that produce a substantial return on investment. The funding from the MacArthur Trust to TMU has propelled the institution forward in a way previously unimaginable.
Not only has the Trust played an integral role in starting the new degree programs, it provided funding to hire faculty, scholarship aid to recruit students, equipment necessary for learning, and capital to bolster the facilities that house the programs.
Perhaps the most important of all the MacArthur Trust’s investments in TMU has been made in student housing. To accommodate the growing demand for on-campus education, and to do so in a financially savvy way, the Trust helped TMU buy more than a dozen homes in Placerita Canyon, the neighborhood where The Master’s University campus is situated. The ownership of these homes — which total over $20,000,000 in value — has put the University in a position of strength.
The fall 2022 semester saw students live in these homes for the first time. Approximately 150 students were able to experience on-campus education because of the proximity of these homes to the University.
With the aid of the MacArthur Trust, TMU has been able to secure 14 homes in the school’s surrounding area. Each house is named after a significant figure in church history.
