Is it necessary to have a major in theology or religion to be a serious applicant to the M.T.S. Program?
A. One of the advantages of the M.T.S. Program is that it allows us to admit students who have little prior experience in theology to prepare for doctoral studies in a two-year period. Applicants must have a clear idea what the academic study of theology involves, but we have had very successful students who come to us with math or science backgrounds, as well as students who come with backgrounds in theology and/or philosophy. We have found that the diversity of backgrounds in the student body leads to a greater amount of peer learning.
