Master of Divinity

The Master of Divinity program (M. Div.) is the training program generally seen as standard preparation for vocational pastoral/missionary ministry men. A Bachelor’s degree is required for entrance to the M. Div. program. The M. Div. program will include the 63 core credits of the M. B. S. program and require 54 credits of instruction in the two major biblical languages (27 credits of Old Testament Hebrew and 27 credits of New Testament Greek) one additional 3 credit elective. If a student does not possess a prior Bachelor’s degree but completes all the M. Div. program requirements, the degree will carry the status of Bachelor of Theology. While men and women may enter and complete the Certificate of Biblical Studies, the Bachelor of Biblical Studies and the Master of Biblical Studies, the M. Div. program is designed to train men only for pastoral/missionary ministry.
