In addition to our foundational master’s degree programs, students also have the option of combining them in two different ways: the MDiv/MAPT Dual Degree and the MDiv/MA(TS) Dual Degree.
The Master of Divinity/Master of Arts in Practical Theology (MDiv/MAPT Dual) offers students a robust opportunity to explore the depth and breadth of theological education. Through the combined curriculum, students engage theological questions and prepare for ministry in the Church and the world. Students also delve more deeply into a particular area of focus. By pursuing the degrees concurrently, students reduce by one year the overall amount of time required to graduate with both degrees.
The Master of Divinity/Master of Arts in Practical Theology (MDiv/MA[TS] Dual) allows students to explore an area of study more deeply while preparing for a variety of ministry settings. The flexibility of the MDiv/MA(TS) Dual Degree makes it an especially helpful option for those pursuing further study or seeking to enrich their ministries by focusing on a particular area of interest through a combination of course electives and an optional independent research paper.
