Overview

As part of this Sacred Theology programme from Columbia University completion, the student must write an extended research paper on a topic of the student’s choice and language requirement.

Key facts

This programme is frequently appealing for International students, who will demonstrate that they have studied in a baccalaureate programme of comparable rigor and attained a high standing.

The Master of Sacred Theology is a full-time, residential programme. STM students arrive with deep experience and a broad, often global perspective. Over half of the participants are from outside the US.

Firmly grounded within Union’s context of academic excellence, social justice, and compassionate wisdom, the STM curriculum allows students to pursue a fuller mastery of one area or discipline of theological study than is normally provided at the MDiv level.
