Both pathways lead to the same 94-credit degree. Pick the rhythm that fits your life and your church.
The MDiv is designed to meet the practical, theological and liturgical standards the Anglican Church in North America sets for ordination. The degree closes with a capstone portfolio and an integrative paper written in your final semester.
* Students may substitute an additional Old or New Testament elective based on a Bible Knowledge Entrance Exam.
** Lutheran and Presbyterian track students substitute these courses as appropriate.
Residential students share daily worship, friendships and rhythms of prayer and study with faculty and classmates. Church-based students join that life during residential terms and intensives in Ambridge.
The MDiv is a 94-credit degree. Residential students usually take 4–5 courses each fall and spring term and graduate in 3–4 years of full-time study. Church-Based Pathway students study part-time while serving in ministry and typically finish in 5–7 years.
Yes. The MDiv curriculum is designed to align with the Anglican Church in North America's ordination requirements. Coursework spans Hebrew and Greek, Old and New Testament, church history, theology, missions, and practical theology such as preaching, worship, pastoral care, and leadership. Ordination itself is overseen by your diocese and bishop, so stay in conversation with them as you plan your studies.
Largely, yes. On the Church-Based Pathway you stay in your ministry context and can complete up to 70 of the 94 credits online, many alongside a local Anglican mentor. The remaining 24-credit residential requirement can be met during fall or spring terms in Ambridge or through our January and June Intensives.
The Residential Pathway suits students who can relocate to Ambridge for full-time study, daily worship, and life in community. The Church-Based Pathway suits students who need to stay in their parish, job, or family setting while they study part-time. Our admissions team is glad to talk it through with you.
Yes. Generous scholarships are available for Residential Pathway students, and limited scholarships are available for Church-Based Pathway students. For current tuition and how to apply for aid, see our Tuition & Aid page or contact admissions at info@tas.edu or 724.266.3838.
The MDiv ends with a capstone: a portfolio of work from your studies and a final integrative paper written in your last semester. It draws together your biblical, theological, historical, and practical learning so you can show how your formation has prepared you for Anglican ministry.
