Academic Policies

Degree Programs

The academic work of Duke Divinity School presently embraces six degree programs:

1. The Master of Arts (MA), a hybrid introductory theological degree that ordinarily takes two years (18.0 units), three courses per term (Fall, Spring, Summer)

2. The Master of Theological Studies (MTS), a general academic degree that ordinarily takes two years (16.0 units), four courses per term (Fall, Spring)

3. The Master of Divinity degree (MDiv), a graduate professional degree (24.0 units) offered in two modalities:

   a. The residential MDiv that ordinarily takes three years, four courses per term (Fall, Spring) (though a pathway exists for four years - three courses per term [Fall, Spring, Summer])

   b. The hybrid MDiv that ordinarily takes four years, three courses/milestones per term (Fall, Spring, Summer)

4. The Master of Theology (ThM), a one-year (8.0 units) graduate degree beyond other theological master’s degrees, such as the MA, MTS, and MDiv, four courses per term (Fall, Spring)

5. The Doctor of Ministry (DMin), a hybrid professional doctorate ordinarily taking three or four years (15.0 units), three courses per term (Fall, Spring, Summer) while in coursework and enrollment in thesis course (sixth term) and continuation until degree completion

6. The Doctor of Theology (ThD), a research-oriented, theologically interdisciplinary doctorate that typically takes five to six years (12.0 units), three courses per term (Fall, Spring) while in coursework and enrollment in continuation until degree completion

The Divinity School also offers the freestanding Certificate in Theology and Health Care (C-THC), which requires 6.0 units, three courses per term (Fall, Spring).

Some degree milestones such as Field Education, Formation for Ministry, and residential Spiritual Formation courses do not count towards required degree units.

Admission to candidacy for any of the master’s degrees requires the completion of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. Admission to the ThM, DMin, or ThD program presupposes an MA, MDiv, MTS, or comparable theological master’s degree. The MA, hybrid MDiv, and DMin operate out of a hybrid modality that includes immersive residencies and online synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences.

Students preparing for ordination into Christian ministry and requiring appropriate graduate-professional education will normally enroll for one of the three introductory degrees above (MA, MTS, MDiv), depending on denominational requirements.

The MA degree is designed to introduce students to disciplined theological reflection as a means for enriching their Christian service in both the church and the world. The degree offers students the opportunity to reflect theologically upon practices of lay ministry, professional ministry, or other kinds of service. The degree is provided primarily for those seeking to enhance lay vocations while remaining in any full-time context or other professional position. The MA coursework may satisfy deacon ordination pathways.

The MDiv degree is the traditional degree for those seeking ordained Christian ministry. Its curriculum is designed to provide exposure to many theological disciplines and to cultivate a number of skills pertinent to a vocation of learned Christian ministry.

Students whose acquired academic standing entitles them to further specialized study may advance their command of selected theological disciplines by applying for an additional year of studies leading to the ThM degree, which may assist in ensuring a larger measure of professional preparation. Application for admission to the ThM program is open to graduates of other schools who have completed a basic theological degree.

The MTS degree provides an introduction to the theological disciplines as a foundation for a graduate degree (PhD, ThD); grounding for teaching, research, or practice in another field (e.g., history, non-profit, social work, psychology, music); enhancement of institutional roles; and personal enrichment.

The DMin degree is a professional doctorate that has been a mainstay of theological education for decades, providing an educational opportunity to pastors and other Christian leaders. Generally, the degree serves people who have earned the MDiv degree, are ordained, and are currently serving as pastors (associate or senior) or as executives of Christian institutions.

The ThD degree provides students with academically rigorous training comparable to the demands of the PhD. The program allows for a focus on areas of study often neglected by traditional PhD programs, such as worship, preaching, evangelism, and the arts.

The specific requirements for each of these degrees are found in the succeeding pages. Completed coursework cannot be credited toward more than one degree. Approved program changes for current students includes review of completed coursework by the academic dean.

Generally, courses in the Bulletin of Duke Divinity School are applicable to doctoral programs of study; however, ThD students must seek the permission of the director of the ThD program before registering for 700-level courses. Some courses at the 900 level are open to qualified MDiv, ThM, or MTS students by permission of the instructor.

Those who desire to pursue studies leading to the degree of MA or PhD in religion, under the administration of The Graduate School, are advised to apply to the dean of that school. Inquiries concerning fellowships or specific requirements of the Graduate Program in Religion may be addressed to the program graduateprograminreligion.duke.edu.

Administration of the Curriculum

Students are required at the time of each registration period to plan and receive approval of their course schedules from their assigned academic advisors. Students should also enroll within registration deadlines. Course programs and schedules are subject to the review and approval of the Academic Policies Committee, the dean, and the academic dean. It is the responsibility of each student to see that all requirements for graduation (and for ordination, per the guidelines of denominational bodies) are met and that any special permission granted to deviate from the normal program is properly recorded in the student files in the Office of Academic Programs. Students should follow the completion of all requirements using the degree progress and audit tool, Stellic.

Paradigms and Required Course Category Descriptions

Students are expected to stay on paradigm. Paradigms are faculty-designed courses of study, and they exist for the MA, MDiv, MTS, and DMin degree programs as well as for the Certificate in Theology and Health Care (C-THC). Paradigms outline the recommended and optimal course and degree milestone sequence for a student’s academic progress. Paradigms are also designed to support academic, vocational, human, and spiritual formation. They place foundational courses at the beginning of a program and provide subsequent opportunities for more advanced study. Paradigms include core courses, additional required courses (including limited electives), and elective courses possible for denominational requirements or certificate electives listed by the terms offered.

In short, paradigms maximize the pathway to graduation. Students who deviate from paradigm may face challenges later in their program that may not find exception or relief and instead require additional years to complete the degree. Consequently, students go “off” paradigm at their peril.

Paradigms can be found on the Divinity intranet.

Core courses at Duke Divinity are not strictly “introductory courses,” although they do provide an orientation to the theological disciplines for students with no prior background. “Core courses” are also—and more fundamentally—distinct expressions of how Duke Divinity faculty imagine and pursue the classic theological disciplines. Limited elective (LE) courses are—like core courses—requirements for the MDiv degree because they seek to cultivate specific skill sets needed for Christian ministry today. Unlike core courses, limited electives have choice built into them so that students can fulfill them through a variety of course options that have the requisite LE course designation.

Portfolios

Portfolios are a requirement for completing the MA, MDiv, MTS, ThM, and DMin degree programs as well as the C-THC. Students must submit their portfolios by the relevant deadlines posted on the academic calendar. Negligence in making timely portfolio submissions will make students ineligible to enroll for the next academic term or ineligible to walk at graduation events.

Grading and Course Enrollment

Grading System

The Divinity School employs the following grading scale with letters and quality points: A (4.0), A- (3.7), B+ (3.3), B (3.0), B- (2.7), C+ (2.3), C (2.0), C- (1.7), D+ (1.3), D (1.0), D- (1.0), F (0.0), W (Withdrew, 0.0), I (Incomplete, 0.0), P (Pass, 0.0), NC (noncredit, 0.0), and Z (year course, 0.0). For the MA, MDiv, MTS, and DMin degrees as well as the C-THC, individuals or classes may in certain instances and at the discretion of the instructor be graded simply as pass or fail (grading basis of P/F) and count towards the required number of degree units. Students in the Certificate in Theology and Health Care seeking Pass/Fail need the additional approval of the faculty director. The chart below explains Pass/Fail policy for each program:

Such Pass/Fail grades are not included in the computation of the grade point average. The Pass/Fail grading basis must be elected via a form on the Divinity intranet by the Grading Basis Change deadline posted on the academic calendar. Students cannot make changes to a course's grading basis after this date. Students in the ThM and ThD degree programs are not eligible to take courses on the Pass/Fail grading basis. Some limited electives within the MDiv program can be graded on the Pass/Fail basis with instructor approval. Pass/Fail is not a grading option for Black Church Studies limited electives. Some degree milestones—such as Field Education, Formation for Ministry, and residential Spiritual Formation courses—have a different grading scale and so do not count towards the Pass/Fail limit.

In the core courses for the MA, MDiv, and MTS degrees, the grading scale is as follows: A, B, C, and F. As such, the grade of D does not exist in core courses. Core courses may not be taken on the Pass/Fail grading basis. Students are required to obtain a grade of C- or better in order to pass a core course. Students earning a grade lower than a C- in a core course shall be obliged to retake the course for credit and pass the course with a grade of C- or better.

Students who complete one Divinity degree and then return for a second degree will begin their new program with 0.0 cumulative GPA, as calculated at the drop/add deadline of the new program.

Advanced Placement

On the basis of undergraduate courses, an undergraduate religion major, or other substantial preparation, MA, MDiv, and MTS students may request via the appropriate Divinity intranet form to be given advanced placement (AP) in one or more of the required core course subjects, meaning that they be allowed to take an advanced elective class in lieu of a core course in the same disciplinary area. Candidacy for AP presumes completion of at least two college courses in a given area (e.g., New Testament studies) with a satisfactory grade average (B or better). Advanced placement is only granted after a formal review process and approval from the division chair (or that individual’s designee) of the theological discipline in question. Advanced placement cannot occur until after a student matriculates into a Duke Divinity School degree program. Certificate in Theology and Health Care (C-THC) students applying to a Duke Divinity degree program may request that XTIANSTU 705 and 706 (Cultivating Christian Imagination I and II) be considered for AP to the division chair of Theology/Ethics. Courses chosen for AP must be taken on a graded basis and passed with a grade of C- or better; they also cannot simultaneously count as a limited elective requirement.

Incompletes

A student may petition the academic dean to receive a grade of Incomplete in a course. This petition must be filed on the prescribed form on the Divinity intranet on or before the close of business on the last day of the final Reading Period of the term in question. Such permission may be granted when a student, through some circumstances beyond control (such as illness) has been hindered from meeting the course requirements. Eligibility assumes at least sixty percent (60%) of the work is completed with passing quality. Adjudication of the petition will rest with the academic dean and the instructor concerned. The academic dean will communicate in writing to the student regarding the joint decision and any conditions attached thereto or ask the instructor to do so. Typically, an Incomplete becomes the grade earned in the course unless it is resolved through completion of assigned work by the following dates: for Incompletes incurred in fall semester courses, February 1; for Incompletes incurred in spring semester courses, September 1; and for Incompletes incurred in summer term courses, October 1. Instructors should post grades within two weeks of the student submitting the work but no later than the end of the first Reading Week of the term. No Incomplete should extend beyond one year from the end of the term in which the Incomplete was granted. The grade of permanent Incomplete is reserved for unique circumstances in which the student’s work in the course was substantial and of passing quality.

Incompletes for ThD students follow an alternative deadline pattern: An Incomplete taken for a fall semester course must be resolved by January 2 of the following academic year; for a spring semester course, the deadline is August 15 of the following academic year. All coursework must be completed before preliminary examinations may be scheduled.

1. It is not recommended for students to take more than one Incomplete in a term. A total of two Incompletes in a term will typically be the allowance. For requests for more than one incomplete, additional consultation with the academic dean will be required. Students with catastrophic circumstances who cannot complete any term courses will discuss with Academics about withdrawing from courses and taking a leave of absence.

2. No student (the exception being ThD students) may start a new term (Fall, Spring, or Summer) with more than one Incomplete grade, including an MDiv Field Education placement.

3. Students who have more than one Incomplete will have multiple deadlines to follow to turn in the assigned work. See deadlines below. Also, faculty may have multiple grading deadlines.

4. Students requesting more than one Incomplete in a term should speak with the Office of Financial Aid for financial aid and scholarship implications related to Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

Students with federal financial aid (Direct Loans and/or work-study) who take Incomplete grade(s) must also speak to the Office of Financial Aid to understand financial implications.

When a student takes an Incomplete, they must remain in communication with their professors and meet their expectations regarding Incomplete deadlines until the Incompletes are resolved. Lack of communication by the student may be presumed to be lack of interest in resolving the Incomplete.

Deadlines for Students who request Incompletes in Multiple Courses: For master's students, only one Incomplete can be left unresolved beyond the end of the term in question. Work for additional Incomplete is due by the Friday following that term’s final exam week. See the academic calendar. First-term students or students in perilous academic standing will require a grade posted by the professor in all other courses by the first day of the class in order to begin the next term.

Change of Courses or Course Withdrawal

Students are permitted to change their course registrations, without incurring a penalty, during the prescribed Drop/Add period at the beginning of each term. These dates vary for hybrid or residential sessions. The Drop/Add period is assigned by course session and is listed on the academic calendar. Alternatively, the grade given for any course change within the subsequent withdrawal period is a W.

No student will be permitted to withdraw from a course after one-half of the term without incurring a failing grade, except for causes judged by the academic dean to be beyond the student’s control. Conditions of genuine emergency—and not considerations of convenience—will be determinative in considering requests, which must be submitted via academic petition forms on the Divinity intranet.

Students with federal financial aid (Direct Loans and/or work-study) who take course withdrawal(s) must speak to the Office of Financial Aid to understand financial implications.

Attendance

Attendance and participation in residential courses are determined by the instructor and should be named in the course syllabus. Courses offered in the hybrid program follow program expectations. In addition to individual faculty syllabi, these program expectations are that students may not miss more than one class session in Immersion Week and one online session without penalty.

Bereavement Policy

Students who have experienced significant loss in their network of family and support may ask the academic dean to be considered for the Bereavement Policy. Once approved, the student should be in contact with the academic dean, who will work on the student’s behalf by contacting the student’s professors about extensions and due dates for assignments within a period of a few weeks after the policy has gone into effect. In this way, the student need not negotiate with all of their instructors on due dates, which represents an additional burden during a time of loss. At the same time, the student should maintain regular contact with the academic dean and observe the new deadlines set in place. Should the student not be able to do so, they may request a formal leave of absence.

Student Status

Students are expected to be full-time each term (taking 3 or more courses). Approval of a part-time status must be approved by the academic dean.

Part-Time Students

Students taking less than three courses/units in any given term are considered part-time students and should consult with the Office of Financial Aid regarding eligibility and financial considerations.

Auditors

Full-time students paying for at least three courses/units are permitted to audit additional courses at no extra cost if space in the class permits, if the instructor approves, and if it does not conflict with the student’s existing course schedule. Special students, part-time students, or persons not candidates for degrees in the university are charged an audit fee for each audited course.

Limited Program

MA, MDiv, and MTS students whose academic performance after admission is not satisfactory may be placed on a limited program by the Academic Policies Committee or academic dean and are required to reduce their course load or to make other academic adjustments. The Academic Policies Committee or academic dean may also place students on limited programs due to circumstances stemming from medical conditions or bereavement. MDiv and MTS students who during the first year of Divinity School maintain less than a C (2.0) average, including failures, ordinarily will be required to withdraw from the school or be placed on an involuntary leave of absence, depending on the circumstances.

Leave of Absence

A student wishing to take a leave of absence for one or two terms should notify the academic dean in advance via the appropriate form on the Divinity intranet. Students may take a leave of absence for personal or medical reasons. Students who wish to take a medical leave of absence may be requested to provide the school or university with medical documentation at the time of request and/or at time of reconsideration for return. A student who wishes to take a leave of absence beyond one full academic year must petition for an exception from the academic dean.

Students with federal financial aid who take a leave of absence must speak to the Office of Financial Aid to understand implications.

Withdrawals from School

Students deciding to withdraw from Duke Divinity School for whatever reason should consult with their academic advisors and the academic dean, and they must file a written statement of withdrawal prior to departure via the appropriate form on the Divinity intranet. Any refund of tuition related to withdrawals will be according to the relevant session's published schedule. All students who have officially withdrawn or whose leave of absence extends beyond one academic year but who wish later to return to Duke Divinity School will be required to reapply for admission and provide whatever documentation is required by the director of admissions.

Students with federal financial aid who withdraw from Duke Divinity School must speak to the Office of Financial Aid to understand implications.

Administrative Action Policy

The academic dean or designee in consultation with the dean of the Divinity School, the Student Behavioral Assessment Team, and other university officials as needed, may take administrative action(s) against a Divinity School student and/or a Divinity School student group to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the university community or any member of it. Administrative action includes, but is not limited to, a “no contact” directive, removal of privileges, removal from or relocation within the residential community, suspension of activity, and/or suspension from the university. If administrative action is issued while a Conduct Covenant action is pending, such action may remain in effect until the Conduct Covenant process is resolved.

Prior to investigation and resolution, interim restrictions may be placed on a student to protect the health and safety of students or the community. These restrictions may include a “no contact” directive, removal of campus privileges, suspension of activity, and/ or suspension from the university. An interim suspension from the university may be imposed by the academic dean and shall become effective immediately without prior notice whenever there is evidence that the continued presence of the student poses a substantial and immediate threat to themselves, to others, or to the university community. Should an interim suspension be issued and resolution of the matter that prompted it not be resolved within two weeks, the interim suspension may convert to an administrative leave of absence.

Complaints regarding student or group behavior may be filed with Duke Divinity School via mechanisms in the Conduct Covenant or, in cases of harassment, with the Office for Institutional Equity.

If the issue of concern is of a sexual nature as described in the University’s Harassment, Discrimination, and Sexual Misconduct Policy, the Office of Institutional Equity takes the lead on procedures in consultation with the academic dean. The Divinity School's OIE liaisons are available for assistance in reporting.

Administrative Action Procedure

Any member of the Duke Divinity School community who has reason to believe that a student or student group may pose a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the Divinity community or any member of it should contact the academic dean. The academic dean, in consultation with the Student Behavioral Assessment Team and/or other appropriate individuals/agencies, will conduct a review of available information and, where necessary and appropriate, gather additional information. Based on the available information, the academic dean shall determine whether administrative action is warranted based on the nature of the risk posed by the student, the probability of harm to Duke Divinity and the wider university community, and whether reasonable alternatives would significantly mitigate the risk. The academic dean will prepare a written statement identifying and explaining the administrative action(s).

A student who is subject to administrative action has three business days from receipt of the written statement to request a meeting with the academic dean to contest the administrative action. Based on the information shared by the student in the meeting, the academic dean shall consider whether any modification to the administrative action is warranted and communicate the decision to the student in writing no later than three days after the meeting. The administrative action may be, at the discretion of the academic dean and subject to the risk determinations as noted above, in force throughout the period of requested reconsideration of the administrative decision.

Coursework

Graduate-Level Courses

Only graduate-level courses—those numbered 500 and higher and counting as equivalent to Duke Divinity School courses (3.0 credit hours)—will be applied to a student’s degree. Courses below the 500-level may not be applied toward the required credits needed for a post-baccalaureate degree. With the approval of the academic dean, graduate students may enroll in lower-level (undergraduate) courses, but these courses will not count toward any graduation requirement and will not be included in a student’s GPA calculation.

Selected graduate-level courses are sometimes offered concurrently with their undergraduate-level counterparts. Graduate students must enroll in the graduate sections and are required to complete the requirements and meet the rigor delineated on the graduate-level syllabi, which must be distinct from—and more rigorous than—the requirements for the undergraduate course. For more information visit registrar.duke.edu/policies/graduate-pairings-undergraduate-courses and/or contact the academic dean or the senior director of academic programs and registrar. To request a graduate-level version of a non-Duke Divinity School course, the student should speak with the instructor of the course immediately at registration due to possible long approval times outside of the school.

Directed Study

With permission of their academic advisors and the instructors involved, students may take as part of their DDS degree program one or two units of Directed Study (preferably not in the same term). These independent study courses under individual faculty supervision are ordinarily in subjects at an advanced level that cover material not available in the regular curriculum. Students wishing to take a third directed study must have permission from the academic dean in consultation with the student’s academic advisor and the instructor who agrees to direct that study. Certificate in Theology and Health Care students do not normally have access to directed studies, while DMin student only do so in specific ways outlined in DMin policies. 

Non-Divinity Courses/Interinstitutional Agreements

Students may, in consultation with their academic advisors, take up to two graduate level courses equivalent to Duke Divinity School courses (3.0 credit hours) in other departments of Duke University, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, or any other institution that is part of the interinstitutional enrollment agreement. Permission for a third such cognate course must be secured from the academic dean. Courses in Duke’s Department of Religion do not count within this limit. Doctor of Ministry and Certificate in Theology and Health Care students normally take only Duke Divinity School courses. 

Study Leave

Study leave for up to one year (eight course credits) may be granted to students desiring to enroll at an accredited theological institution within their denominational tradition (e.g., Lutheran, Anglican/Episcopal, or Presbyterian). Such leave is normally granted by the academic dean for students to complete ordination requirements. Study leave for up to a year may also be granted to recognized student exchanges. If students wish for courses taken during a leave to count for their Duke Divinity degree, academic policies outlined herein apply.

Graduation with Distinction

Students who achieve a grade point average of 3.85 for overall academic records in the MA, MDiv, and MTS degree programs are granted the degree summa cum laude. Students with a grade point average of 3.65 or above are awarded the degree magna cum laude. Such distinction is calculated on the basis of letter grades only, totaling at least fifty percent of all courses taken at Duke; the distinction will be indicated on the student’s diploma.

Previous Graduate Coursework

Transfer Credits

Students in the MA, MDiv, MTS, and ThD programs are eligible to transfer courses taken at ATS-accredited institutions (these being three or four credit hours) into their degree program with approval by the academic dean. ThM and DMin students may not transfer courses.

 Requirements for any course to be transferred

1. Courses must be graduate-level courses.

2. Courses must be taken at ATS-accredited institution or APCE-accredited CPE program (see note on CPE units below).

3. Course grade must be B- or better. No grade lower than a B- will be accepted. Courses taken Pass/Fail do not count.

4. Courses completed more than five years prior to the intended date of enrollment will not be considered for transfer credit.

5. Courses taken and counted toward a conferred degree cannot be transferred.

6. The below explains maximum units to be considered for transfer by program:

   1. MDiv – 8

   2. MTS – 4

   3. ThD – 3* additional approval by the director

   4. MA – 3

What transfer courses mean on the student record

1. Once transferred, courses cannot be removed from the Duke Divinity record.

2. Grades from approved transferred courses do not appear on Duke Divinity transcripts, nor do they factor into the cumulative GPA of a Duke Divinity program.

3. For master’s programs, transfer credit may not take the place of Duke Divinity curricular requirements (including core courses and limited electives); courses may be transferred for elective credit only.

4. As noted above, candidates seeking advanced placement for core courses should consult with corresponding division chairs (or that individual’s designee), who will determine equivalencies. Should AP be granted, students would still need to take an advanced elective at DDS in the area in question for a letter grade.

5. Credits cannot be transferred until after a student matriculates in the degree program at the Divinity School. An applicant to Duke Divinity School can use the requirements above to review their own transcripts for course viability. 

CPE units and transfer credit

1. CPE units to be used as transfer credit must be taken at an APCE-accredited CPE program.

2. Units of CPE can only count for academic credit via transfer credit if CPE units is undertaken while a student.

3. One CPE unit equals two Divinity course units.

 Students should read the Transfer Credit Policy on the Divinity intranet for implications for degree program pathway.

Duke Divinity Alumni Seeking a Second Master's Degree from DDS

Alumni of Duke Divinity School with a conferred MA, MTS, or MDiv degree may transfer course credit from a previous degree to pursue another master's degree (MA, MTS, or MDiv) at the school with the approval of the academic dean.

The policies governing transfer of credits in this case supersede the transfer credit policy above by allowing the following:

1. Courses taken for a completed degree at DDS are eligible for transfer to a second Master’s degree at DDS.

2. Courses can count as more than elective credit (see below).

The policies governing transfer of credits in this case follow the lines of the transfer credit policy noted above with additional stipulations:

1. Courses must be graduate-level courses.

2. Credit for a course can only be transferred for a course with the grade of B- or better. Credit cannot transfer for courses with grades less than B-. Courses taken Pass/Fail cannot count for transfer credit. No grades transfer.

3. Courses completed more than five years prior to the intended date of enrollment will not be considered for credit towards the new degree program.

4. The following explains maximum number of units that can be transferred to a degree program:

   1. DDS MA or MTS graduates seeking the MDiv may bring up to 8 courses for transfer

   2. DDS MA or MDiv graduates seeking the MTS may bring up to 4 courses for transfer

   3. DDS MTS or MDiv graduates seeking the MA may bring up to 3 courses for transfer

5. Core courses taken in the previous degree program can count for core course requirements of the new degree if the grades received in the courses were B- or better. Courses taken in the MA or MTS that count for limited electives can count for the limited elective requirements in the MDiv if the grades received in the courses were B- or better.

6. Students who do not have grades of B- or better in core courses will be required to take an advanced elective to count for the degree requirements of the new degree.

7. Students will begin their new program with 0.0 cumulative GPA, as calculated at the drop/add deadline of the new program.

8. The completion date of the second degree will vary based on student progress and course schedule availability. Students are encouraged to meet with the Office of Academic Programs for paradigm support and degree planning.

Pathways from the Certificate and Theology and Health Care to Degree Programs

Students in the Theology and Health Care Certificate seeking to matriculate to a degree program may access pathways posted on the Divinity intranet.
