Diploma in Theological Studies
For those who do not seek a master's degree, the seminary offers a Diploma in Theological Studies (DTS). The DTS is awarded to a regularly admitted student who has earned at least 18 credits at or through the seminary in an approved course of study within a three-year period. Please note that the credit hours listed are a minimum. More may be taken as desired.
This diploma is ideal for those who wish to enrich their knowledge in particular areas without being committed to the completion of a master's degree.
Applicants will complete all items in the application form except for the requirement for the GRE or MAT testing. Appropriate diploma courses may be applied to the master's degree should the student decide to pursue those studies. Additional admissions requirements may apply.
Prior to being awarded the diploma, a candidate must fully discharge all financial obligations to the seminary and all requirements must be completed within six years from the date of entry into the program.
