Opportunities for individualized research topics

M.Div. Honors Research

The Master of Divinity Teaching program provides the opportunity for students to develop research skills and focus on topics that align with the students’ research interests. The MDiv as a whole equips students with a comprehensive understanding of Scripture, a solid grounding in theology, biblical study tools, and key practical ministry skills. Students will graduate from the program with the ability to interpret Scripture, contextualize the gospel, and shepherd their community. This program does not lead to any type of teaching license.
