Forms for Summer 2009

Master of Sacred Theology

The Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.) program is an academic research degree, based primarily on courses taken in the summer at the School of Theology, although S.T.M. students may also take courses at other accredited seminaries and electives during the academic year at the School of Theology. The student has a major area of concentration and writes a thesis with the approval of the advanced degrees committee.

Doctor of Ministry

The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program is offered by the School of Theology during the summer months. The focus of the program is the relationship between the practice of ministry and biblical, historical, and theological knowledge. It combines high academic standards with commitment to the church and to effective ministry today. Emphasis also is placed on reflecting theologically on one’s ministry in the context of the Christian tradition. The program requires both the completion of a first professional degree in theology and experience in a field of ministry. The primary focus of the program is the practice of ministry and the development of skills, attitudes, and knowledge which are essential to ministry.
