Course description:

The S.T.M. requires a minimum of two semesters of study, with the satisfactory completion of 25 course credits, a cumulative average of B (3.0), and no grade lower than C (2.0). Students who occupy church positions or have other responsibilities should expect to take at least two years to complete the S.T.M. Students must complete all degree requirements within four years of entry. Those who, by permission of the S.T.M. Director, extend their studies beyond four years will incur an annual extension fee. The program also requires a Seminar on Theological Research, to be completed by all S.T.M. students in the first year of study, and a Theological Colloquium, to be taken in the last semester of study. These courses lead to the preparation and presentation of an extended research paper of publishable quality in the student's major field. Candidates should consult with the S.T.M. Director to select a primary advisor in their field of concentration during the first month of their studies. The proposal for the research paper will be developed in the Seminar on Theological Research. The primary advisor, the program coordinator, and possibly a third reader will evaluate the proposal in the context of the seminar. These will constitute the examination committee to assess the project on completion.

Entry requirements:

An applicant for the S.T.M. program must have an M.Div. degree or its equivalent from an accredited school and a cumulative average of at least 3.0 (B).
