Master of Practical Theology

The Master of Practical Theology (MPTh) is a 36 hour (2 year) master's degree that can be taken subsequent to a student's completion of at least 30 graduate level credit hours (such as a completed MA).  This MPTh would create "Master of Divinity (MDiv) equivalence" for students who have completed another master's degree or part of another master's degree.  Upon completion of the MPTh, a student would be eligible to apply to a Doctor of Ministry program.

Students completing the MPTh should be able to:

• Demonstrate a solid biblical, theological, historical, and contextual foundation for ministry.
• Integrate the Bible, Christian theology, and church history with selected areas of the practice of ministry.
• Effectively apply a theoretical knowledge to the practice of ministry in selected areas of the practice of ministry.
