Overview

The Arts program of Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary can provide appropriate preparation for further graduate study in theology or simply a framework for lay theological study on a disciplined basis. It does not provide the educational qualifications needed for priestly ordination. Students considering ordination therefore are directed to the M.Div. program.

The program is designed to be completed in two years by full-time students, who take an average of twelve credits in course work per semester. Only if warranted by exceptional circumstances, such as illness, disability, or employment, and with permission of the Faculty Council, may the program be spread over a longer period of time.

The degree must be completed within four years of entrance into the program, after which time the student is normally required to fulfill new requirements that may then be in force. All credits applied toward degree requirements must be earned within ten years of the awarding of the degree.

Program Learning Outcomes

St. Vladimir’s Seminary seeks to equip M.A. students to:

Think theologically and pastorally about the world and their cultural context, addressing contemporary realities in a manner faithful to the Church’s tradition; and
