Accelerated Master of Divinity

Your MDIV Is Closer Than You Think

Do you have a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies, Biblical Counseling, or an equivalent field of study? If so, you have the basic biblical knowledge necessary to participate in our Accelerated Master of Divinity program. This program allows you to advance directly into a master-level concentration without repeating each course you completed while earning your bachelor degree. If you’ve done the majority of the work, your MDIV is closer than you think. 

Each Accelerated Master of Divinity concentration consists of 60 total credit hours. Within that total, the Pastoral Ministry and Biblical Counseling programs also incorporate hands-on practicums. Courses required at master-level, even if completed at bachelor-level, are Greek, Hebrew, and preaching/teaching.
