MDiv Suggested Course Sequences

Two suggested MDiv course sequences follow: one presupposes that all MDiv prerequisites have been met at the time of enrollment (English Bible competency, Greek) and completion in a three-year time period; the second presupposes that these prerequisites must be completed during MDiv enrollment and completion in a four-year time period. Many students find the MDiv most manageable in a seven-to-eight-semester time period. There are a host of variations to such templates, depending on the exact courses that are offered in a particular semester, the scheduling limitations of the student, possible advanced standing, and so on. In addition, summer school courses provide students opportunity to accelerate or catch up on program course work.

Students are encouraged to consult with their student colleagues for advisement suggestions, as well as the Academic Handbook and their faculty advisor. Note also particular course descriptions and catalog curricula, including any course prerequisites. Projected course schedules are published on the Intranet as soon as available. Generally all MDiv core courses are offered at least once each fall and/or spring semester, rotate through a two-year summer cycle, and rotate through a three-year evening school schedule. Field education requirements and the intense period of MDiv internship near the end of the program when accompanied by additional ministry responsibilities often lengthen a student’s program.
