The Master of Divinity Program (M.Div.) is a basic degree program designed for the theological and professional preparation of students for both ordained and non-ordained ministry. It aims at giving students a general introduction to the major areas of theological inquiry. There is a Seminary Route for this program. The requirements for seminarians include additional formational and ordination requirements.

90 credits
Candidates for the M.Div. program must possess a previous university degree (such as B.A., B.Ed.). An accredited undergraduate degree is required. A student’s previous university work should include 12 undergraduate credits in philosophy. Deficiencies in this area must be made up before students will be allowed to proceed into the third year of the program. Since the M.Div. is a professional as well as an academic degree, a screening process to determine the candidate’s aptitude for ministry is involved. Initial screening interviews will take place during the admission process. A second Mid-Program Assessment for lay students will be held prior to the student’s participation in Theological Field Education to determine readiness for practicum learning. Ongoing evaluation may result in a student being asked to interrupt or to leave the program for reasons over and above academic competence.
