The purpose of the Th.M. degree is to provide an additional year of academic preparation beyond the Master of Divinity degree for Christian leadership in pastoral and educational ministries, or in preparation for further graduate work.
Master of Theology graduates have an advanced understanding of a focused area or discipline in the context of general theological study.
The purpose of the Ph.D. degree is to develop scholarly leadership for the church and the many and diverse communities to which it ministers.
Our graduates serve in seminaries, colleges, universities, congregations, denominational agencies, and other contexts of pastoral and administrative leadership.
