In addition to our foundational master’s degree programs, students also have the option of combining the MDiv with either the MAPT or the MA(TS). By pursuing two degrees concurrently, students shorten the overall time required to graduate with both.
The Master of Divinity/Master of Arts in Practical Theology
The MDiv/MAPT Dual offers students a robust opportunity to explore the depth and breadth of theological education. Through the combined curriculum, students engage theological questions and prepare for ministry in the Church and the world. Students also delve more deeply into a particular area of focus. By pursuing the degrees concurrently, students reduce by one year the overall amount of time required to graduate with both degrees.
The Master of Divinity/Master of Arts (Theological Studies)
The MDiv/MA(TS) Dual allows students to explore an area of study more deeply while preparing for a variety of ministry settings. Students can complete both degrees in four years, or in three years on an intensive pathway.
All full-time master’s degree students receive full tuition scholarships at the time of admission. Part-time master’s degree students may be eligible for scholarships that cover 50-90% of tuition.
