MASTER OF DIVINITY in CHAPLAINCY
(MDIV)
90 Hours
The Master of Divinity in Chaplaincy will have two areas of concentration: Sacramental and Non-Sacramental (Evangelical Protestant). These areas are designed to meet the broad theological and educational needs of students entering the chaplaincy. If a student enters into the Sacramental Concentration and has no background in this area, additional prerequisites will be required. If a student has already taken a prescribed course(s), then other courses can be selected.
Credit for pastoral care practicum or internship may be gained through completion of a residency or weekend program of one or more units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE), certified by the Association of Pastoral Care and Education (ACPE). This is not required to receive the MDiv degree, but may be needed for acceptance as a chaplain in some areas.
The program provides broad Biblical, historical and practical preparation for those who desire to serve the Lord as a Chaplain. In order to understand their role in the pluralistic setting of the Chaplaincy, there is a substantial church history, philosophy, and theological core, in addition to courses in leadership, and ministry.
This program also meets the need of those needing more stringent federal Chaplaincy requirements of the Armed Forces, Veterans Administration and prisons.
