Master of Divinity Degree

In a complex and rapidly changing world, you’ll want an M.Div. degree tailored to your unique path.

As it always has, MTSO’s Master of Divinity program provides excellent preparation for parish ministry. Now, though, it offers unprecedented opportunities to discern the shape of your vocation and design your own custom curriculum. You’ll have the flexibility to pursue such goals as ordination, community ministry and doctoral studies. Whichever path you choose, you’ll develop the skills to understand, appreciate and interpret our Christian heritage so it becomes a compelling vision for the present and future.

Within the M.Div. program, we offer six optional specializations around focal areas of modern ministry. Each specialization requires 12 semester hours of selected classes within the 86 hours required for the M.Div. degree.

Specializations

Black Church and African Diaspora Studies
Ecology and Social Change
Feminist and Womanist Studies
Interreligious Contexts

Youth and Young Adult Ministry
