Courses for Beginning MDiv Students

by | Jul 30, 2021 | Divinity School, Graduate Blog | 0 comments

The following are the recommended courses for MDiv students who begin the program in Fall ’21. Graduate students may take up to 3 courses per term. Students in the Regular Program are typically those who do not have a baccalaureate degree in religious studies or a related field. Students who have been granted Advanced Standing typically have a baccalaureate degree in religious studies or a related field. Because such students may not have previously completed undergraduate courses equivalent to one or more foundation requirements in the MDiv program, their requirements may vary. Both they and students who are transferring from other graduate programs in religious studies should contact the director of graduate programs for specific course recommendations.
