Description:

There are two options available in our MDiv program: contextual option and coursework option. This program can be completed in 24-36 months, depending on which option you choose, and whether you’re in full-time or part-time studies.

The contextual option is for those preparing for congregational ministry. The program includes congregational placements, community placements and a full-year internship.

Students taking the contextual components of our program are required to be satisfactorily involved in the life of a congregation. In addition to 23 courses and a Supervised Pastoral Education (SPE) unit, you will complete a 12-month internship. You must be deemed capable of assuming the professional responsibilities of the ordained ministry to be recommended for ordination by our faculty.
