MASTER OF THEOLOGY (Th.M)

   The Master of Theology program is designed to provide men who desire to further their pastoral or teaching ministry an opportunity for greater specialization in a particular theological discipline and for the development of skills in independent research and study in the student's chosen field.

　As a post-graduate degree, applicants for admission must have completed the Master of divinity or its equivalent. This program assumes a certain degree of competence in the various fields of theology. Therefore, through the program an attempt is made both to integrate and to intensify the student's theological knowledge. This is accomplished through a greater use of bibliographical resources, methods and tools of scholarly research, and logical and critical writing.

Requirements for Admission:

  A student will select a major from one of the five fields of study: Biblical literature, Historical theology, Pastoral theology, Missiology and Systematic Theology.

1. Possess a M.Div degree or its equvalent from an approved seminary with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above.

 2. Have demonstrated an ability to do original research with Biblical languages.

Requirements for Graduation:

   In addition to the general graduation a student must have completed the following:
 1. 32 semester hours with at least 28 of these hours completed at Washington College and Seminary. 
 2. Maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above. 

 3. Satisfactorily passed the comprehensive examination covering the major field and completed the thesis.
