MDIV Program
Master of Divinity
The Master of Divinity is a three-year graduate program in Bible, theology, and ministry, offered in two tracks:
Language Intensive Track
Designed to equip pastors and church leaders with deeper scriptural understanding and greater competence in both theology and practical ministry.
Minimal Language Track
Designed to provide strong biblical and theological training for ministry without the additional language requirements in Hebrew and Greek.
Entrance Requirements
In order to be admitted as a regular student, the following credentials must be presented to the Registrar’s Office:
- A completed application form, which includes 200-word statement by the application indicating his faith and purpose, along with his reasons for desiring a course of theological study.
- A full academic transcript of college or undergraduate work, with proof of having received a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. If more than one college was attended, there should be a transcript from each.
- A letter of character reference from three people who know the applicant well, including the pastor of his church (or a church official), an undergraduate professor, and a friend. The applicant should list these three persons in the space provided on the application form, and letters will be sent to them directly from the Registrar’s office.
- A recent passport-type photo should be attached on the application.
Pastors’ Study Grant
Because of the economic hardship that many young pastors face, the Seminary thought the assistance of the Christian Training and the Missionary fellowship offers a limited number of study grants each year to qualified students who are active in the pastorate. These grants are given on a yearly basis and are contingent on a continued good standing in the program. Such grants are not guaranteed and depend on the availability of funds. Study grant guidelines and applications are available from the registrar.
