Master of Divinity

Overview

The M.Div. is a 92-credit program designed primarily for those preparing for ordained ministry. It is also preferred for students seeking to prepare for chaplaincy, missions, and parachurch ministries.

Eighteen to 24 months are needed to complete other required courses and field education experience. Specific denominationally-based ordination requirements may be accommodated in the elective credits.  For more information, contact seminary@nes.edu.
