Overview
As a seminary graduate, you will have the opportunity to extend your education in a particular field or to prepare for doctoral-level work through a one- to two-year program and a capstone thesis or a major research paper.
The Theology Master program at Calvin Theological Seminary is designed to achieve these key learning outcomes:
- Students have academic mastery in a specific theological discipline.
- Students can engage in sound scholarship that exhibits independent inquiry, academic research, critical analysis, and scholarly writing.
- Students can articulate both their own tradition’s perspective on their area of specialization and the strengths and weaknesses of other theological approaches.
- Students exhibit the fruit of the Spirit by providing thoughtful, fair, and respectful analyses and interpretations that recognize the strengths of positions with which they disagree and the weaknesses of positions with which they agree.
