Course Overview
The Master of Divinity (M. Div.) program is a three-year degree that prepares students for a wide range of ministries in the church, academy, and world. Our distinguished faculty members teach a broad set of core course requirements that cover the classical disciplines of church history, Biblical studies, theology, and practical ministry, as well as elective opportunities that allow students to either complete ordination processes or to pursue the particular interests and passions to which God has called them. There are paid field education internships built into the three-year model, allowing students to receive practical experience and training as a complement to work done in the classroom. Our spiritual formation component, required of each first year student, nourishes the life of discipleship and prayer. For these reasons, the M. Div. leaves open many vocational doors, including pastoral ministry, non-profit leadership, further academic work, and teaching. An academically rigorous curriculum surrounded by vibrant worship, contextual learning, opportunities for spiritual formation, and the close-knit student community make Duke Divinity's M. Div. one of the premier options for theological education and pastoral training the world over.
