NTSW joins with New York Theological Seminary to offer the Doctor of Ministry (DMin), an advanced professional degree appropriate for clergy and lay leaders with significant ministry experience who desire to deepen and improve their ministries through a disciplined and integrative process of action, reflection, and research. The primary objective is to develop professional competencies, critical skills for reflection on ministry, the capacity for focused advanced theological research and interpretation, and appropriate interpersonal skills for service in specific, constituency-based contexts. The program places considerable emphasis upon developing effective ministries of personal and social transformation in the context of a multicultural, globalizing, and urbanizing world.

The NTSW Master of Divinity (MDiv) is a 72-credit graduate degree designed for women and men who are already serving full-time in ministry, who are bi-vocational, or who are contemplating a shift from a secular to a religious vocation. The MDiv is the standard graduate degree for professional ministry in the United States and Canada. It is designed to provide exposure in considerable depth to the broader range of theological disciplines (biblical studies, history, theology, ethics, sociology of religion, and the arts of ministry) in a manner that integrates theory and practice, or reflection and action.

The M.A.C.P. offers the opportunity to enhance your gifts for ministry as you participate in your local faith community and in secular businesses or organizations. The strength of this 36-unit degree is our faculty who teach from their daily involvement as parish pastors, hospital chaplains, campus ministers, and other expressions of ministry.  These faculty are therefore experienced in integrating theory and practice in the classroom. As you join fellow students in small interactive classes, personal attention is offered to each student both in advising and in the classroom.
