Overview

Key Features

The Theological Studies degree from Emory University is especially designed for individuals interested in pursuing some aspect of teaching and research, whether in an academic context, the non-profit world, or in public policy and social engagement. It provides superb preparation for doctoral-level studies in religion and theology.

The program focuses on three areas: History, Scripture, Tradition of Christianity; Modern Religious Thought and Experience; and Global Religions. The MTS emphasizes historical and constructive issues of religious and theological reflection from a variety of perspectives. The larger Candler and Emory community provides a setting of open engagement and serious theological reflection that enhances the context of the MTS program.

The flexibility of the Candler MTS program allows students to focus their work within an area of specialization or construct a broader degree across the theological disciplines. The program is also intentional about helping students discern their vocation through plenaries, small groups and professional development electives in areas such as Non-Profit Leadership and Management; Religion, Violence and Peacebuilding; and Youth Ministry.
