Master of Divinity
Purpose
This three-year program provides professional graduate training for the Christian
ministry. It is designed to give sound academic preparation without forfeiting
genuine spiritual life. There is a careful balance between quality education
and practical instruction under qualified supervision. A thorough training in
theology and the biblical languages is central to this curriculum so that the
minister might be an able expositor of God’s Word. Thus the program has
been structured for men called of God to the gospel ministry in various capacities.
Admission Requirements
A student must possess a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent from a recognized
college or university.

Master
of Theology
Purpose
This program is offered for those desiring advanced training beyond the Master
of Divinity level. It offers specialized biblical training, and is designed
for those, such as teachers, whose calling requires advanced graduate work.
Academic Requirements
The student entering this program must demonstrate superior ability and maturity
and must have earned a Master of Divinity degree or its equivalent from a recognized
seminary. A 3.0 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) must have been achieved
in Master of Divinity work. (A rare exception may be granted by the faculty
in case of extremely mitigating circumstances.) Graduates of DBTS who apply
for the Th.M program should fill out a special application form. Those new to
the Seminary must go through the normal application procedure.
Postgraduate Seminars
Each student enrolled in the Master of Theology Program is required to take
at least two postgraduate seminars (maximum of five) during the resident training.
Within the field of study being considered for a given semester, the student
is assigned a specific topic on which to do independent research and to report
the results of his research to the class. Grades are determined by the faculty
on the basis of the student’s reading, research, writing, classroom presentation,
and response to and interaction with other class presentations and discussion.
Seminars are offered one each semester on a rotating basis at the option of
the Academic Dean.
