Program Overview

Trinity Theological Seminary offers a comprehensive Master of Divinity (MDiv) program designed to prepare students for effective ministry leadership in diverse contexts. Rooted in a strong foundation of biblical, theological, and practical training, this three-year program equips students with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual formation necessary for faithful and effective service in the Church and the world.

Program Structure

The Master of Divinity program is structured to provide students with a holistic education that integrates rigorous academic study, research, practical training, and spiritual formation. The program consists of four key components:

Core Courses: Students will engage in a rigorous academic curriculum covering various disciplines, including Bible, theology, history, ethics, and practical theology. These core courses provide students with a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills essential for ministry leadership.

Research Component: As part of the program, students will undertake a substantial research project known as the Project Work. This project, worth 6 credit hours, involves independent research and writing on a topic of the student's choosing, under the guidance of a faculty supervisor.

Practical Training: Students will participate in practical training experiences, including two long vacation Practical Attachment (Practicum) sessions, designed to provide hands-on ministry experience and enhance practical skills development.

Semester-by-Semester Schedule: The program is structured over three academic years (six semesters), with a maximum course load of 21 credit hours per semester. Each semester, students will take courses from various categories, including General Prerequisites, Bible, History and Missions, Systematic Theology, Christian Ethics and Philosophy, Study of Religions, Practical Theology, and Free Electives.
