Seminaries with M.Div. Degrees - SaBC (Seminaries and Bible Colleges)

The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) seminary degree is the most common degree that seminaries, divinity schools and theology schools offer. The degree serves as a professional degree for pastors and many other Christian vocations, and it is an ordination requirement in some denominations.

Most accredited M.Div. degree programs require students to have a bachelor degree upon enrolling, for the master of divinity is a graduate theology degree. A few programs may allow students with special circumstances to forgo the bachelor degree requirement. Furthermore, those that do require a bachelor degree usually don’t stipulate what the undergraduate degree must be in.

While many M.Div. students are or intend to become pastors, the pastorate isn’t the only ministry where this degree may be helpful. Missionaries, Christian counselors, nonprofit workers, parachurch leaders and lay ministers may also benefit from having a master of divinity.

M.Div. programs provide a broad foundation in theology, biblical studies, church history, practical ministry and other areas of study. Some programs focus on one or two areas of study, while others remain broad throughout the curriculum.
