The Master of Divinity:
Training for a Lifetime of Pastoral Ministry
Our Master of Divinity degree equips you to engage in Gospel-centered leadership roles, such as pastoral ministry, chaplaincy, teaching, and missions. As the Master of Divinity is the most recognizable seminary degree in the United States, it presents you with the greatest number of open doors for church and parachurch ministry opportunities and serves as a requirement for ordination for some Christian denominations.
Western Seminary's 82-credit Master of Divinity program helps you:
- Complete your training online or on campus
- Explore gospel-centrality for spiritual formation, theological understanding, and ministry practice
- Create your own statement of faith rather than adopting the seminary's doctrinal position
- Put your new skills to work in the real world during multiple semesters of Ministry Formation
