Masters of Divinity (M. Div)

Masters of Divinity (M. Div.)

• Curriculum focuses on the vocation of ordained ministry.
• Designed primarily for students preparing for ordination in the Episcopal Church, but students pursuing ordination in other denominations are welcome.
• Some applicants may have educational or vocational goals apart from ordination that can be undergirded by the M. Div. program.
• All students are expected to involve themselves fully in academic study, corporate worship, private prayer, and service to the community.

• Ecclesiastical endorsement is required for those pursuing ordination or whose M.Div. is intended as preparation for ordination.

• In the Episcopal Church, this means endorsement by the student's bishop; for persons in other churches, it means endorsement by the comparable church authority.
• Applicants to the M.Div. program not seeking ordination should articulate their goals clearly and state how the M.Div. would be important for fulfilling them.
• Normally, applicants to the M.Div. program must hold the degree of Bachelor of Arts or its equivalent.
  • a full time basis (more info here) or
  • a part-time basis (more info here).
