The Master of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.) is a graduate theology degree that usually offers focused study in a particular Christian field. The degree is largely considered equivalent to a master of theology (Th.M.) degree.
Most accredited S.T.M. degree programs require students to already have a master-level degree in theology, such as a master of divinity (M.Div.) or master of arts (M.A.). Students typically enroll in an S.T.M. program to further prepare for doctoral work.
Seminaries and divinity schools offer S.T.M. degrees in many different areas of study.
