Master of Divinity:

The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) is a 48-credit program. It includes an initial assessment (3 credits), 12 credits in Bible, and 33 credits in Advanced Ministry Functions.

The applicant for this degree should have the M.Min. degree or its equivalent. The M.Div. represents a total of a 90 credits of "religion" at graduate (post-bachelor) level. A college graduate may elect to enroll in a 90 credit M.Div. program without first earning the M.Min. degree.

Master's level work should demonstrate that the student has attained above average knowledge relative to course content, above average ability in the use of the study methodology, and above average skill in applying, utilizing, and communicating what is learned in the real world of the church.

Course work should further reflect that the student is an above average performer of ministry tasks and works entirely independent of others. There should also be evidence that the student is able to synthesize information effectively.
