Master of Divinity

Shiloh University’s Master of Divinity degree provides professional and theological graduate training designed to equip the participant for the continued study, application, and ministering of God’s Word. The curriculum concentrates on the biblical basis for ministry practices, allowing for ministry formation in concert with the participant’s home church beliefs, and making room for the Holy Spirit to teach and minister in the participant’s life. Additional emphasis is placed on the knowledge and skills necessary to lead, teach, or minister in a church or parachurch setting. Electives can be selected in the areas of ministerial studies, languages, or biblical studies.

The Master of Divinity degree is the first professional degree focused on providing a balance of biblical, theological, and ministerial disciplines for the training and equipping Christian ministries. It is regarded as a preparatory degree for professional ministry leadership and a prerequisite for Doctor of Ministry programs.
