Master of Theology (ThM) Program
About The Master of Theology (ThM) program
The Master of Theology (ThM) program is intended to offer those who are in full pastoral ministry or parachurch organization for advanced and specialized theological study beyond the basic degree level. Through transdisciplinary and integrative approaches, the ThM program provides an opportunity for full-time ministerial workers to deeply engage in advanced theological pursuits, and to enhance their competence in ministry, teaching and research. Students may select electives from across the curriculum, or use them to focus their studies in a chosen concentration: Theological Studies, Biblical Studies (Old or New Testaments) or Practical Theological Studies.
Learning Outcomes:
- Develop advanced skills in theological research and writing, including engagement with primary resources, scholarly exchange in a peer community, and communication of research results for the church.
- Cultivate personal and spiritual qualities necessary for scholarly and vocational ministry.
Notes:
- Students are normally expected to complete the ThM within a maximum of 5 years from the beginning of the program
- The thesis is to be completed within one year of completion of the last course.
