Graduate Interview, Patricia Iorillo

Congratulations to Patricia Iorillo!

Patricia graduated with a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies as part of the first graduating class from Redemption Seminary (2022) and received a Vanguard Award for her patience and helpful feedback to Redemption Seminary as she worked through the program.

Description of the Redemption Experience

Patricia enrolled in the program already having earned a Master of Science in Educational Psychology and is highly qualified to speak about the educational quality and innovative structure of Redemption Seminary. Listen to what she says as she discusses her experience with Redemption’s Academic Dean, Dr. Joel Wingo.

Notes from her reflections on her experience

  • The onboarding course provided her confidence with Logos and other digital applications which she didn’t have experience with before the program.

  • Church History was her favorite course because as she says, “You really don’t know history until you know church history. This program helped her really know Church history.”

  • The structured coursework and live mentoring were her favorite parts of Redemption’s innovative model.

  • She produced a workbook for her Bible Study Fellowship group for her final project and will be using that as the foundation for the doctoral work that she is now pursuing.

The Final Project

The Master of Arts in Biblical Studies program finishes with two six-credit courses that allow students time to build content for their current ministry efforts and guides them through building a strategic plan for getting the most out of it and helping it work smoothly in their ministry setting. The idea is that this coursework isn’t merely preparatory. It has immediate and enduring benefits. Take a listen to how Patricia describes her experience with the final project.
