Master of Divinity
Erskine Seminary offers two versions of the M.Div. degree. Both of these provide foundational preparation in Bible, theology, and ministry. In addition, the M.Div. with concentration involves substantial study of the Biblical languages and requires the student to choose one area (Biblical studies, theological studies, or congregational ministries) in which to concentrate his/her elective courses. The shorter M.Div. includes a much briefer introduction to the Biblical languages.
