Master of Divinity

(90 credit hour program)

National Bible College and Seminary

Purpose:

The Master of Divinity is designed for those students who already have a foundation in biblical studies. Professional ministry vocations, for which the Master of Divinity is primarily designed to equip students, include pastoral ministry, missions, chaplains and others with a biblical and theological basis for church related ministries.  The program also serves as the foundational degree to prepare students for further studies in preparation for vocations in research, teaching, and writing in biblically related fields. Consequently, NBC&S seeks to maintain a healthy balance in the program among the biblical, theological, and practical studies.
