The Master of Divinity is the three-year professional degree for ordained ministry. As the recognized degree for ministry, it is designed with the intentional integration of biblical, theological, historical, and practices of ministry studies with supervised ministry experience. The program is particularly designed to equip candidates for full-time vocational ministry as pastors, but also provides the professional training for evangelists, chaplains, missionaries, church associates, and leaders in parachurch organizations.

Before candidates for the Master of Divinity program are graduated, they must successfully complete 138 quarter hours of course work including all required courses with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. They will have successfully completed the Professional Assessment Program, filed their application for graduation by the fall preceding the graduation in June, fulfilled their financial obligations to the school, and participated in the graduation ceremonies.
