MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE (Basic)
The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree is the basic seminary degree for college graduates. It is the appropriate first professional degree for individuals who anticipate ordination. The basic M.Div. degree program requires 89 semester hours. It is designed for individuals who anticipate serving as pastors, evangelists, associate pastors, missionaries, or in other ministries that emphasize expository preaching or teaching of the Word of God. In most cases, the M.Div. degree is also the appropriate degree for students who anticipate doctoral training and a ministry of college or seminary level teaching.
To meet the needs of students preparing for ministries with specific concentrations, Midwestern offers seven concentration tracks within the M.Div. degree. M.Div. degree concentrations require 92 semester hours. Concentrations are offered in Christian Education, Church Music, Collegiate Ministries, International Church Planting, North American Church Planting, Urban Ministry, and Youth Ministry. After meeting admission requirements for the M.Div. degree, approval for selection of a concentration is coordinated through the faculty.
