Master of Divinity (MDiv)

A three-year professional degree preparing students for Church ministry, the MDiv offers appropriate preparation for those intending to serve in lay or ordained ecclesial and service ministries. The curriculum provides an interdisciplinary education with a theological foundation, preparing students for careers in education and professional ministry grounded in the Franciscan tradition. Seminars, supervised field education, courses in pastoral ethics, and the cultivation of intercultural sensitivity are integral elements of this degree. A written and orally presented capstone project addresses practical theology in a particular ministerial context.
