About Our MDiv/BTh Program
MDiv/BTh Curriculum
The MDiv program is the standard program which prepares a candidate for Ordination. The BTh program is designed to prepare candidates for Ordination who are over thirty-five years of age and who do not have a first university degree. Requirements are similar for both programs; BTh students are not required to have a Biblical language.
Most first- and second-year classes are offered in alternate years, grouped thematically with related courses. Students may begin their studies either in “Year A” or “Year B”; both years are required before Internship but either set of courses can be taken first. MDiv/BTh students take 27 three-credit courses and 3 one-credit course. Colour Key
