Master of Theology (ThM)
The Master of Theology (ThM) degree program is a specialized academic program that allows students to build upon a Master of Divinity or other master鈥檚 degree by offering advanced training in biblical and theological studies. Unlike many other seminaries, our ThM degree is not a four-year degree, but a more specialized academic program. The flexibility of the ThM also provides excellent preparation for future doctoral studies.
