Master of Divinity Program

The Master of Divinity program prepares students for full-time professional ministry in the Roman Catholic Church. This program of theological education consists of classroom learning, guided ministerial experience, structures for integrative reflection, and a formation component. As the basic professional degree in ministry, the M.Div. provides general ministry preparation and offers a variety of opportunities for more specific concentration within the program, including biblical studies, cross cultural ministries, health care mission service, liturgical studies, pastoral theology, and world mission.

The M.Div. has two tracks–one for candidates for the ordained ministry, and one for lay and religious men and women who will not be ordained. Track I is designed to meet the needs of lay and religious men and women who will not be ordained. Track II is designed for candidates for the ordained ministry, and follows the specifications for academic and ministerial formation as required by The Program of Priestly Formation (Washington: USCCB, 2005).
