Master of Divinity (M.Div.) Benefits
The M.Div. curriculum recognizes that professional ministerial leadership emerges from faith-filled ministerial practice and seeks reflective critical understanding to prepare graduates to know, serve and love practically.
This gives rise to three aspects of the M.Div. program: faith formation, reflective critical understanding and ministerial practice.
These areas of the curriculum prepare students for work in various areas:- The church's institutional placements, which include parish leadership, diocesan administration, hospital chaplaincy and campus ministry, and parallel religious organizations, which include ministry options in organizations dealing with religious communications.
- Peace and justice advocacy, parochial school administration, as well as spirituality centers.
- Public-service positions such as legal advocacy, industrial chaplaincy, business ethics, social work, nursing and counseling that invite a pastoral or spiritual perspective, along with standard knowledge of the field.
