Master of Divinity (MDiv) – Presbyterian (EPC)

Are you looking to be fully equipped as a future leader in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church? Are you keen to enliven your heart and enrich your mind through a deep dive into the fields of Biblical Languages and Interpretation, Biblical Studies, Church History, Theology, Missions, and Practical Theology?

 

The Master of Divinity degree (MDiv) is 94 credits.  The MDiv can be completed entirely in residence at our Ambridge campus; 70 credit hours of the MDiv can be completed through online courses and/or the Church-Based Pathway, a partnership between Trinity and a local mentor.  A residential requirement of 24 credits (equivalent to one year of full-time study) is required, which can be completed either during the Fall/Spring terms on Trinity’s Ambridge campus or through participation in our January and June Intensives.

 

Residential students generally take 4-5 courses per term in Fall and Spring, supplementing as desired with January & June intensives.  Most residential students graduate after 3-4 years of full-time study.  Distance students generally take 1-2 courses per term in Fall, Spring, and Summer, supplementing with January & June intensives.  Most distance students graduate after 5-7 years of part-time study.
