Master of Divinity

The MDiv is a 75-hour program that provides high quality, accessible, and economical ministerial training for pastors and leaders involved in local church ministry. To enroll in the degree, a person must have earned a bachelor’s degree, be officially engaged in ministry with a local church, and have an appropriate ministry context including access to a local body of Christian believers with whom they can successfully complete the required "in-ministry" assignments of the program. Students take required courses (60 hours) in a carefully sequenced format, but also have 15 hours of elective work (which may, if the student chooses, be devoted to the fulfillment of a specialization in one of several areas).

Wesley Seminary strives to promote the following key learning outcomes in the MDiv program. A student who has completed the Master of Divinity should, with graduate-level competency, be able to:

• Integrate Christian History, Scripture, and Theology in the practice of ministry.
• Contextualize the gospel for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom.
• Personalize spiritual formation for sustainable ministry.
• Lead the church in the practice of ministry.
• Equip others for the work of ministry.
