Overview

Abilene Christian University's Master of Divinity Equivalency is the most comprehensive formational degree for ministry and future doctoral studies offered by ACU’s Graduate School of Theology. However, because many non-M.Div students share the same vision, the Graduate School of Theology offers a Master of Divinity Equivalency plan geared specifically for students who hold other theological master degrees, enabling them to transfer educational equivalent courses to complete the necessary courses to apply – and succeed – in the D.Min program. Focusing on courses related to critically analyzing biblical resources, research methods, and original research, students can rest assured that pursuing higher levels of theological education is within reach.
