The Master of Divinity (MDiv) is designed for those who desire to further enhance ministry effectiveness or teach Bible and ministry courses at the college level. Program objectives include a deeper knowledge of the Bible and theology based on a normal, historical, grammatical hermeneutic as well as sharpened skills for communicating biblical truth. Entry into the MDiv program requires (1) a bachelor’s degree and (2) the completion of at least 60 master’s credits in Bible, theology, or ministry. All previous credits must come from a recognized college or university with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Each MDiv student must complete thirty credit hours to bring their overall master’s credits total to 90 credits. Every MDiv student must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5. MDiv students normally complete the degree in two years. They are grouped in cohorts, taking courses in seven-day modules twice per year. Online courses are taken in the summers.
