Online Master of Divinity

The 75-hour Master of Divinity is perhaps the most innovative degree of its kind, built around local church ministry in action. Unique to this curriculum is its interlocking and interrelated content. Bible, theology and church history are integrated throughout every praxis course. This interweaving for foundational principles provides the knowledge, skills and dispositions that pastors need and can immediately use in ministry.

Those who have already completed a ministry-related master's degree may be eligible to complete the Master of Divinity in just 48 credits.
