Are you looking to be fully equipped as a future leader in the church? Are you keen to enliven your heart and enrich your mind through a deep dive into Biblical Studies, Theology, Missions, Church History, Preaching and conducting worship in the Prayer Book Tradition?
The Master of Divinity degree (MDiv) is 94 credits.
The Residential Pathway: The MDiv can be completed entirely in residence at our Ambridge campus. Enjoy establishing deep friendships, be formed by the rhythms of communal study and prayer, get trained for cross-cultural ministry, experience the Lord’s provision, and benefit from the generous scholarships offered to those who choose the Residential Pathway.
Residential Pathway students generally take 4-5 courses per term in Fall and Spring, supplementing as desired with January & June intensives, and graduate after 3-4 years of full-time study.
The Church-Based Pathway: You can also complete your MDiv without relocating to Ambridge. 70 credit hours of the MDiv can be completed through online courses, many involving a partnership between Trinity and a local mentor. Benefit from a strong relationship with a proven Anglican church leader, apply your seminary insights directly into your ministry context, and access our online library resources. There are limited scholarships for those who choose the Church-Based Pathway.
The residential requirement of 24 credits can be completed either during the Fall/Spring terms on Trinity’s Ambridge campus or through participation in our January and June Intensives.
Most Church-Based Pathway students graduate after 5-7 years of part-time study.

A Lutheran track in partnership with the North American Lutheran Seminary (NALS) and a Presbyterian track in partnership with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) are also available. Please see Our Programs Additional Tracks section for more information. More information about the NALS and EPC Partnerships is available here.
