Our Master of Divinity (MDiv) program provides both the theoretical and practical tools necessary to prepare for the rewarding and challenging vocation of Christian service.<br><br>In preparation for parish, institutional and administrative ministries, youll take courses in theology, biblical studies, counselling, ethics, church history, liturgics and administration.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 youre in full-time or part-time studies.<br><br>The coursework option is for those who are either already working in a ministerial setting or are preparing for non-congregational ministry allowing students to take additional electives (in place of the internship and seminars for those in the contextual option) and focus on coursework in areas of particular interest.<br><br>Students admitted to Luther's MDiv program are automatically entered into the coursework option, which includes 25 courses and a unit of SPE. The SPE placement is normally in a clinical setting, and can be completed throughout your second year or as an intensive unit throughout the summer.
