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.
Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Intercultural Chaplaincy teaches students to provide effective spiritual care and leadership across diversity and differences.
Partnerships help make a great graduate school even better! See some of the organizations and programs wherein we partner here in the Atlanta, GA area and around the USA.
