Master of Divinity Traditional (72 hours)
The Master of Divinity emphasizes the integration of theological learning with the skills needed to address the complex issues encountered in the practice of ministry. The goals of the program are: a deeper faith in Jesus Christ and the development of a spirituality that will sustain a life in ministry; competence in the interpretation of the Bible; a critical knowledge of the Christian tradition and abilities to help the church shape its future in light of that tradition; skills to lead the church in mission within a rapidly changing and diverse cultural context; competence to practice day-to-day ministry with integrity. The traditional model provides greater customization through electives, allowing students to pursue a variety of interests according to their callings.
The M.Div. degree is a 72-hour program. Students may take classes on campus or online. Class formats include online, weekend intensives, and weeknight formats. Fifteen hours of electives can be used to create a concentration in the degree or allow student to explore other areas of interest they may have.
