Jeff Straub, Program Director
The Th.M. program requires the successful completion of 30 hours of work. These hours involve eight courses, qualifying exams, and thesis.
Three courses are designed to give to each student a broader scope of interdisciplinary biblical and theological studies. Every student is required to take the faculty integrative seminar in hermeneutics (XX 801). He also takes one course of his choosing in the discipline related to his own. Finally, each student takes one required course in his discipline.

The Master of Theology degree is not simply a teaching degree, though those who desire to teach at the college level will want to pursue it. The Th.M. program emphasizes intensified study of the Bible, theology, and related subjects. Those who complete the Th.M. degree can expect a broader and richer ministry in the Word of God wherever they may serve.
