Is an advanced theological degree what your ministry needs to deepen your discipleship and service? A Master of Sacred Theology (STM) enables you to sharpen your knowledge through focused research in seven course units and a concluding thesis.

The Master of Sacred Theology (STM) program provides a fuller mastery of one area or discipline than is normally provided at the basic degree level of theological study. Examples of major areas of study are: Anglican Studies, Bible, Black Church Studies, Christian Education, Church History, Church and Society, Congregational Studies, Homiletics, Interfaith Studies, Liturgy/Worship, Lutheran Studies, Pastoral Care, Theology, and World Christianity .

STM Students Will:

Develop an advanced understanding of a focused area or discipline in the context of general theological study.
Use research methods and resources within the discipline.
Develop the ability to formulate productive questions.
Engage in scholarly conversations with their peers. Candidates pursue the degree for a variety of reasons; as a preparation for further study at the Ph.D. level; as a preparation for teaching; for the scholarly enhancement of ministerial practice; or for disciplined reflection on a specialized function of ministry.
