The Master of Theology is available on a limited basis to students who have earned a Master of Divinity or Master of Arts degree in the relevant theological discipline. In this program, you’ll be challenged to think deeply about the Bible from a variety of perspectives. You’ll pick a specialization in either Old or New Testament.
Each specialization consists of the following:
The student must achieve a minimum 3.0 G.P.A. in all Master of Theology degree course work. The student must repeat any work below a 3.0 G.P.A. according to the seminary retake policy.
The Master of Theology degree prepares graduates for careers that require in-depth engagement with Scripture in the original languages.
At Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, we strive to know God more fully by studying his word. That’s why our faculty are devoted to both teaching and mentoring you toward greater Biblical expertise and discipleship.
Master of Theology courses are research-based, involving regular meetings with the professor for guidance and evaluation. The guided research and reading is adapted to the specific goals of each student.
The student must complete the degree, including the thesis, within three academic years. The major professor and dean conduct a formal evaluative meeting with any student who fails to complete the program within this time limit (three academic years and two summers). Program extension beyond the three-year limit is granted only on the basis of a faculty vote.
