Master of Divinity (M.Div.)
The Master of Divinity degree programme is for those seeking
an academic programme with practical applications within which to explore
the depths of their faith. Students who desire preparation for a variety
of lay ministries are invited to study in this degree programme. As a
result, the number of required courses is reduced as compared with the
M.Div. (Ordination) degree programme which allows for more flexible study
in the student's area of interest.
Length of Programme
This 100-credit hour degree may be completed in three years of full-time
study (including the time required for the Foundational
Courses) or it may be completed on a part-time basis. There is a limit
of seven years from the date of initial enrolment for the completion of
this degree.
Transfer Credit
VST has a relationship with UBC's Department of Classical, Near Eastern
and Religious Studies (CNRS) Department that allows VST students to take
any of the graduate courses offered by that department as electives. For
a course listing and detailed descriptions, please see the CNRS Department
web-site at www.cnrs.ubc.ca.
Students are also welcome to take advantage of course offerings at
Regent College. Please see
www.regent-college.edu
for more details.
