The only advanced academic degree offered by Golden Gate Seminary is the Master of Theology, which requires completion of 28 credit hours of seminary work beyond the MDIV (or an equivalent degree from an accredited institution). The THM is offered to enable students of above-average ability to continue academic study beyond the MDIV. The program prepares students for specialized types of ministries or for additional graduate study.
