The Master of Divinity is the degree normally pursued by those seeking ordination (some denominations require it for ordination), and it is a requirement for certification to various forms of chaplaincy ministry. In addition, students who plan to pursue the Master of Theology (Th.M.), Doctor of Theology (Th.D.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), or the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) are encouraged to enroll in the Master of Divinity degree program. The Master of Arts in Christian Education is the degree primarily intended for those whose ministry objective is service as church staff members in various areas of educational ministry.
