Divinity - Concordia Theological Seminary

Divinity from Concordia Theological Seminary is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Master of Divinity degree program at Concordia Theological Seminary is reserved for men who are members in a congregation of The Lutheran Church?Missouri Synod and is intended to lead directly to ordination into the ministerium of The Lutheran Church?Missouri Synod. Therefore, admission into the program is governed, along with other requirements, by the doctrinal position of the church body. Pre-seminary Studies The basic purpose of Concordia Theological Seminary is to prepare men for the pastoral ministry of The Lutheran Church?Missouri Synod. Since our Synod is strongly supportive of a system of undergraduate colleges to prepare men for the study of theology at its seminaries, we believe men who are preparing for admission into the seminary should seriously consider entering this system of education as early as possible during their undergraduate education. The seminary, however, does not restrict its admission to graduates of Missouri Synod colleges but encourages men to study for the ministry who have earned the bachelor's degree from other regionally accredited colleges and universities. Since courses in Greek are not always available in American colleges and universities, some college graduates will enter the seminary without the necessary pre-seminary Greek requirement. To such students the seminary offers Greek. Since Greek is a pre-seminary requirement, credits in Greek do not apply to the M.Div. graduation requirements. Mission Emphasis The Mission Emphasis is ideal for students preparing for pastoral work in the parish or for career opportunities as missionaries at home and abroad, to focus their studies in courses related to mission. Its purpose is to integrate exegetical, historical, systematic and pastoral theology into missionary theology and practice. View more details on Concordia Theological Seminary .
