Seminaries with M.A.R. Degrees

The master of arts in religion (M.A.R.) is a graduate theology degree that’s typically shorter than a master of divinity (M.Div.) degree. Most seminaries’ M.A.R. degrees lay a broad theological foundation while offering opportunities to focus on a specific area of study.



Accredited M.A.R. degree programs usually require students to have a bachelor degree. Upon graduating with an M.A.R., students may continue academic studies, pursue church ministry, lead in a parachurch or nonprofit organization, become a missionary or pursue almost any number of other callings. If pursuing academic study, students might enroll in another masters-level program or a doctoral degree program after finishing an M.A.R.
