Cast Your Net Wider!

Get your MDiv and amplify it with a dual degree from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary

We have partnered with other departments to offer dual initiatives that will give you a second degree in addition to your MDiv. Driven by insights from the front lines of ministry, our four practical dual-degree courses are designed to make an immediate impact in your ministry. In addition to gaining fundamental knowledge in key areas like Social Work, Communication/Media, International Development and Public Health, you’ll learn to motivate your congregations to better serve the community, create winning strategies, increase community outreach, build a culture of lifestyle evangelism, and lead congregations to better deeper spirituality. Completion time will vary depending on the degree and each semester’s course load; consult with an advisor for more information.
