The Master of Arts (MA) in Theological Studies聽is a research degree for those who do not have a first degree in theology, but do hold a bachelor’s degree. It requires completion of an extensive thesis and language examinations. Many MA students intend to pursue doctoral studies.
The Master of Theology (ThM)聽is a second theological degree (requiring MDiv, MTS, MA or equivalent) intended for advanced and specialized theological study beyond the basic degree. There are two streams: Option I with thesis can serve as preparation for some forms of teaching or for doctoral study; Option II does not qualify a student for doctoral study, but provides opportunities for the scholarly enhancement of the practice of ministry or disciplined reflection on a specialized function in ministry. Many ThM students pursue their studies part-time while engaging in full-time parish ministry or other responsibilities.
