The program leading to the Master of Divinity degree provides professional theological education for qualified college graduates in preparation for the practice of ministry and other forms of religious leadership.
The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of those preparing for ordained ministry or other forms of contemporary religious leadership. It acknowledges the ideological, ethnic and cultural diversity of Christianity; examining its traditions and contemporary circumstances in a global context and in relation to other religious faiths. Students are encouraged through these courses to be self-conscious about their own moral environments, to think critically about their assumptions, and to develop theological frameworks for their participation in the processes of changing ideas, personal relationships, and social structures. The traditions of Christianity serve as the primary context for developing the practice of ministry.
